How to query Paladin's Seal in MoP?

[citrot]

Hi!

New to wowinterface. If i missed forum where to ask something like this, plz tell me.

Developing an addon for mop 5.4.x, and encountered a problem. How to query paladin's active seal?

If i use stuff like this:
http://www.wowwiki.com/API_UnitBuff
or this:
http://www.wowwiki.com/API_UnitAura
they find nothing. Paladin's seal in mop seems like warrior's stance or dont know (i cannot scan those either). They arent regular buffs.

Any tipp will be great! Thank you.

You'll need to be careful -- the stance numbers do not always match between Mac and PC. You can get the stance number via "stance = GetShapeshiftForm()", but you need to match up the localized name returned in GetShapeshiftFormInfo(stance) with the localized name of the paladin seal to known which one it really is.

You can see an example of this technique in Ovale's OvaleStance module.

Thank you for tipp. Actually, i am doing this in my addon to query activated stance (copy / pasted here):

  i4= "";
  for i3= 1, 10 do
    _,i1,i2= GetShapeshiftFormInfo(i3);
    if (i1==nil) then i1=""; end
    if (i2==nil) then i2=0; end
    if (i2==1) then
      i4= i1;
      break;
      end
    end

In the end, i4 still contains empty string, if no activated stance on paladin. Oh, and those nil checks inside only for safe. Name is only checked against en/us version (for different localized names, i will deal with them later).

Please tell me that code snipped isn't your actual code!

GetShapeshiftFormID evidently returns a unique ID representing your stance, so that might save you some code.

citrot: If you describe exactly what your goal is we can be a little more helpful.

To get the name of your active form you can simply do this..

local icon, name = GetShapeshiftFormInfo(GetShapeshiftForm())
