Addon to log all the loot I get

[Eommus]

Hi,

For my own purposes, I need the following ability:

When I get loot (any type of loot) from a mob, from a quest reward, by opening a container, by opening mail, by crafting or by trading (shortly, in any way a character can get loot), I want this addon to record the "name, id, type, item level" of the loot I got in a text file (lua file is ok too). To give example, let's say I looted Corpsemaker, and Iron Ore, it will record the following:

Corpsemaker|6687|Two-Handed Axes|35
Iron Ore|2772|Metal & Stone|30

I have the following so far:

LootLog.toc

## Interface: 70200
## Title: Loot Log
## Notes: Logs the loot you get.
## SavedVariables: LootLog

main.lua

main.lua

LootLog = {}

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")

local function Log_Loot(tooltip) -- How to get the info about just looted item?
	-- 1. Get looted item id, name, item level, type, subtype
	local item = tooltip:GetItem()
	local itemName = GetItemInfo(item)
	local _, itemLink = GetItemInfo(item) -- I need to extract item ID from this somehow.
	local _, _, _, itemLevel = GetItemInfo(item)
	local _, _, _, _, _, itemType = GetItemInfo(item)
	local _, _, _, _, _, _, itemSubType = GetItemInfo(item)
	
	-- 2. Save the above info to saved variables file.
	table.insert(LootLog, itemName.."/"..itemLink.."/"..itemLevel.."/"..itemType.."/"..itemSubType.."\n")
end

f:SetScript("OnEvent", Log_Loot)
f:RegisterEvent("ITEM_PUSH")

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I used something like this in an addon that monitors loots of anyone.
It extracts loot from chat.

if event == "CHAT_MSG_LOOT" then
    
        local lootstring, _, _, _, player = ...
        local itemLink = string.match(lootstring,"|%x+|Hitem:.-|h.-|h|r")
        local itemString = string.match(itemLink, "item[%-?%d:]+")
        local _, _, quality, _, _, class, subclass, _, equipSlot, texture, _, ClassID, SubClassID = GetItemInfo(itemString)
 
        if UnitName("player") == player then 
                 -- your code .
 
-- other code

Hope it is usefull.

These are interesting ideas. Being able to go back at the end of a session and see what you looted would be interesting and possibly useful if you are collecting things.
