Pet Species id

[MrBerlin]

hi,
everytime i try to get the speciesId via GetPetSpeciesID i get nil...
tried at several times in battle (openingstart, opening done, round results, ...) everytime i get nil. Rest of the Addon is working fine.

I tried every pet

speciesId = C_PetBattles.GetPetSpeciesID(ownerNumber, petIndex);

whatever i do, always speciesId is nil...
when i use it in a macro it always works fine

any suggestions? Is GetPetSpeciesID protected or something else?

thanks
Kai

UPDATE:

i tried

local a= {C_PetBattles.GetPetSpeciesID(trainerNumber, battleIndex)};
    self.speciesId = C_PetBattles.GetPetSpeciesID(trainerNumber, battleIndex);
    print("#a: "..#a.." | trainerNumber: "..trainerNumber.." | index: "..battleIndex.. " | Species ID: "..tostring(self.speciesId).." "..a[1]);

and it gave me
#a: 1 | trainerNumber: 1 | index: 1 | Species ID: nil 1601

anyone knows why it works when i put it in brackets?

If this is your exact code, then self.speciesId should be the same value as a[1], I suspect you may have just made a typo in the variable name which resulted in nil if this isn't your actual code.

Otherwise, something outside of what you posted here is affecting the value.

The question is, where are ownerNumber and trainerNumber from?

Blizzards code is calling it like this

local activePet = C_PetBattles.GetActivePet(LE_BATTLE_PET_ALLY|LE_BATTLE_PET_ENEMY);
local speciesID = C_PetBattles.GetPetSpeciesID(LE_BATTLE_PET_ALLY|LE_BATTLE_PET_ENEMY, activePet);

typo... used "speciesID" in print but the varname was "speciesId"...
sorry.
