Inspecting your party to download item IDs

[Heanthor]

Hi,

I'm really new to LUA and am trying to write my first basic addon. I'm writing an addon that, upon slash command, will scan your party/raid and tell you if any specified itemIDs are found equipped by party members. However, I'm having trouble getting NotifyInspect() and GetInventoryItemLinks() functionto cooperate.

Previously, I was querying every slot with GetInventoryItemID(), which returned the transmog item ID. This worked perfectly reading the items, albeit not the correct ones, and i was able to process my entire party. As soon as I switched to GetInventoryItemLinks(), everything I query is nil.

I tried adding an event handler to wait for NotifyInspect() to trigger it, but this produced even stranger results, and still did nothing to help the problem. Will include below.

All I want is to record the item ID of every slot of every party member. Any suggestions?

SLASH_BOOSTFINDER1 = '/boostfinder'; -- Slash command

SlashCmdList["BOOSTFINDER"] = function(msg) --Slash command list
	print("Inspecting party.");
	InspectParty();
end

function InspectParty() 
	partySize = GetNumGroupMembers();
	partyMember = ""; -- Declare var
	
	if partySize == 0 then
		print("Not in a party.");
	end
	
	MyEventFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "MyEventFrame", UIParent)
	MyEventFrame:RegisterEvent("INSPECT_READY")
	
	for i = 1, partySize do 
		if IsInRaid() then partyMember = "raid" else partyMember = "party" end;
		partyMember = partyMember .. i
		print("Checking " .. partyMember);
		if CanInspect(partyMember, showError) == 1 then
			if CheckInteractDistance(partyMember, 1) then
			print("Can inspect "..partyMember);
				NotifyInspect(partyMember); -- Server is queried for inspection
				
				function MyEventFrame_OnEvent(self, event, ...)
					BoostCheck(partyMember); -- Performs the check
				end
				MyEventFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", MyEventFrame_OnEvent);
				
			end
		end
	end
end

function BoostCheck(partyMember)
	for i = 1,17	do
		print("Checking " ..partyMember.." item " ..i);
		itemLink = GetInventoryItemLink(partyMember, i);
		print("Generated item link" .. itemLink);
		local itemString = string.match(itemLink, "item[%-?%d:]+");
		print("Item string" .. itemString);
		local _, itemId, enchantId, jewelId1, jewelId2, jewelId3, 
		jewelId4, suffixId, uniqueId, linkLevel, reforgeId = strsplit(":", itemString);
		if itemLink ~= nil then 
			if itemId >= 100977 and itemId <= 101309 then 
			-- if itemId == 104730 then --Temporary
				print(UnitName(partyMember) ..  " is a boost");
				break; --Our work on this character is done
			else
				print(itemId);
			end
		end
	end
	ClearInspectPlayer(); -- Ends the inspect
end
