Warforged Seals

[mec666]

i'm writing an ldb plugin so i can see warforged seals. but what is the name the icon i use for it? is there somewhere i can find this? right now its a blank box.

i'm new to writing addons/plugs so not sure what we have available for finding this information.

Think you can use this with the appropriate currency ID:

local name, amount, texturePath, earnedThisWeek, weeklyMax, totalMax, isDiscovered = GetCurrencyInfo(id)

this is what I have so far. it worked for timeless coins. so not sure why it wouldn't work for warforged.

local WarforgedSeal = CreateFrame("Frame", "MEC_Warforged_Seal")
WarforgedSeals.obj = LibStub("LibDataBroker-1.1"):NewDataObject("MEC Warforged Seals",{
    type  = "data source",
    text  = "0",
    label = "Warforged Seal",
    icon  = "Interface\\Icons\\inv_arcane_orb",
} )
 
WarforgedSeal:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
    for i = 1, GetCurrencyListSize(), 1 do
        local _, _, _, _, _, _, icon, _, _, _, _ = GetCurrencyListInfo(i)
        if icon == "Interface\\Icons\\inv_arcane_orb" then
            local _, _, _, _, _, count, _, _, _, _, _ = GetCurrencyListInfo(i)
            Warforgedseal.obj.text = count or "0"
        end
    end
end)
 
WarforgedSeal:RegisterEvent("CURRENCY_DISPLAY_UPDATE")
WarforgedSeal:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

You should only need something like this..

WarforgedSeal:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self)
    local name, count, texture = GetCurrencyInfo(776)
    self.obj.text = count or "0"
end)

You can get the currency id from the wowhead url for it, timeless coins are 777.

Also you have a typo (presumably) with "WarforgedSeals.obj", the S on the end should likely not be there.

so just something like this then?

local WarforgedSeal = CreateFrame("Frame", "MEC_Warforged_Seal")
WarforgedSeals.obj = LibStub("LibDataBroker-1.1"):NewDataObject("MEC Warforged Seals",{
    type  = "data source",
    text  = "0",
    label = "Warforged Seal",
    icon  = "Interface\\Icons\\inv_arcane_orb",
} )
 
WarforgedSeal:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
 
    local name, count, texture = GetCurrencyInfo(776)
 
    Warforgedseal.obj.text = count or "0"
 
end)
 
WarforgedSeal:RegisterEvent("CURRENCY_DISPLAY_UPDATE")
WarforgedSeal:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

I tried this and it still shows 0. unless i'm still doing something wrong

You should really enable Lua errors, or install an addon that lets you see them. You first have 'WarforgedSeal', then you set 'WarforgedSeals.obj' with an extra 's', as I believe semlar pointed out. Finally you use 'Warforgedseal.obj.text' with a lower case 's'. These all need to be the same. (Lua is case sensitive)
