quest ID

[Platine]

When I talking with npc and receiving any quest, I can use functions: GetTitleText(), GetQuestText(), GetObjectiveText(), etc.
I need received actuel quest ID coresponded to GetTitleText(). How function can I used ?
Quest is not yet in my QuestLog.

afaik, you first need to have the Quest in your Quest Log to extract the ID from the UI escape sequence

this breaks the UI escape sequence to reveal the Quest ID:

/run print(strreplace(" [QuestLink] ", "\124", "!"))

alternatively, you can print all the Quest IDs in the quest log with this macro script:

/run for i = 1, GetNumQuestLogEntries() do if GetQuestLink(i) then print(strreplace(GetQuestLink(i), "\124", "!")) end; end

No idea, how wowhead datamines the quests that you can't have in your questlog though

Edit: Ailea has a better solution ><

A combination of registering for QUEST_DETAIL and then calling GetQuestID() perhaps?

Function GetQuestId() currently does not exist. (?)

Lua error - Message: Interface\AddOns\xxx\xxx.lua:107: attempt to call global 'GetQuestID' (a nil value)

In addition, some sources say, to call the function with parameter http://www.theromwiki.com/API:GetQuestId, but it changes nothing.

If the quest is in Quest Log, simply call the function:
http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/GetQuestLogTitle
questID return direct from this function.

Yeah, sure if it's in your log that's a whole other story. I thought you meant you needed the ID _before_ it was in your log.

Dunno why you get errors. Doing /dump GetQuestID() in-game gives 0 on login (as is expected). If I target one of the Winterveil NPCs, Furmund in this case, and do /dump again I get 6964 which seems to be the right one when compared to wowhead.

Probably the error caused by the server on which I check.
Thank you for your time.
