Achievement - Complete?

[Somberland]

Hi there, I'm trying to figure out how I can see that a specific Achievement was completet, I tryed the "GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(ID)" function, but it won't display me the right Achievement for the ID (used the ID's from wowhead).

So can maybe anyone help me with that?

thanks!

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you are using the incorrect function. GetAchievementCriteriaInfo() is to get info about a specific *criteria* of an achievement (an achievement with multiple steps/things to complete). You are looking for just GetAchievementInfo().

1 million thank you's!
tryed to get it work for around 2 hours, looks like I oversight the GetAchievementInfo

Btw, can I also check the Achievemets of other players with this function? Looks like it only display's my Data

Doesn't look like it. Can't see any UnitAchievement or similar on wowwiki at any rate.

Shouldn't it be possible with GetAchievementComparisonInfo(AchievementID);?

With this code I get a "nil":

ClearAchievementComparisonUnit(); SetAchievementComparisonUnit("mouseover");
AchievementDoneTarget = GetAchievementComparisonInfo(AchievementID);
print (AchievementDoneTarget);

Edit:// Ok I get it.

The data from achievements on other players is not available until then event "INSPECT_ACHIEVEMENT_READY" has fired. When you call SetAchievementComparisonUnit(unit) it takes about 0 to 2 seconds before it fires.

I really recommend using ClearAchievementComparisonUnit() before moving onto another unit to avoid any conflict.

Edit1: Don't confuse GetAchievementComparisonInfo() with GetComparisonStatistic() which I did once.

Edit2: There doesn't really seem to be any range on how far you can inspect people, they just need to be "seen" by the client which means UnitExists(unit) and UnitIsVisible(unit) is enough.
