SetFont - new parameter: textType

[Platine]

I received such a LUA error:

bad argument #1 to 'SetFont' (Usage: self:SetFont(textType, fontFile, height, flags))

Typically, the syntax for this function is:

self:SetFont(fontFile, height, [flags])

What data does textType take?

A guess is that SetFont might have changed accept either a table only ie. GameFontNormal OR font, size, flags.

Mind you, it IS just a guess. I can't find anywhere Blizz. uses anything other than font, size, flags

I found mentions of textType in the SimpleHTML documentation from a beta export:

{
    Name = "GetFont",
    Type = "Function",
 
    Arguments =
    {
        { Name = "textType", Type = "string", Nilable = false },
    },
 
    Returns =
    {
        { Name = "fontFile", Type = "string", Nilable = false },
        { Name = "height", Type = "number", Nilable = false },
        { Name = "flags", Type = "string", Nilable = false },
    },
},
{
    Name = "GetFontObject",
    Type = "Function",
 
    Arguments =
    {
        { Name = "textType", Type = "string", Nilable = false },
    },
 
    Returns =
    {
        { Name = "font", Type = "table", Nilable = false },
    },
},
{
    Name = "SetFont",
    Type = "Function",
 
    Arguments =
    {
        { Name = "textType", Type = "string", Nilable = false },
        { Name = "fontFile", Type = "string", Nilable = false },
        { Name = "height", Type = "number", Nilable = false },
        { Name = "flags", Type = "string", Nilable = false },
    },
},
{
    Name = "SetFontObject",
    Type = "Function",
 
    Arguments =
    {
        { Name = "textType", Type = "string", Nilable = false },
        { Name = "font", Type = "table", Nilable = false },
    },
},

It's a mystery. You have:

itemTexFrame.lua

ITEM_TEXT_FONTS = {
    ["ParchmentLarge"] = {
        ["P"]  = QuestFont,
        ["H1"] = Fancy48Font,
        ["H2"] = Game20Font,
        ["H3"] = Fancy32Font
    },
    ["default"] = {
        ["P"]  = QuestFont,
        ["H1"] = QuestFont,
        ["H2"] = QuestFont,
        ["H3"] = QuestFont
    }
};

local fontTable = ITEM_TEXT_FONTS[material];
if(fontTable == nil) then
    fontTable = ITEM_TEXT_FONTS["default"];
end
for tag, font in pairs(fontTable) do
    ItemTextPageText:SetFontObject(tag, font);
end

But that signifies a change to SetFontObject so maybe something along the same lines

Thank Frizzlemizz, textType "P" is the solution for me.
But in this 4 parameter syntax, all 4 parameters must be used.

TextObject:SetFont(textType, fontFile, height, flags)

In normal 3-parameter syntax, the last parameter is optional.

TextObject:SetFont(fontFile, height, [flags])

Since I'm only changing the font file, my program now looks like this:

local a1, a2, a3 = ItemTextPageText:GetFont("P"); ItemTextPageText:SetFont("P", BT_Font, a2, a3);
