 :GetSetTable("setname")

Returns a table with the contents of the requested set.

Args

"setname" 
string - The name of a set within PT3

Returns

table -

  • if this is a multiset: a list ordered table of this multiset's member tables.
  • if this is not a multiset: the index of each table member is the itemid, and the value of each member is the value of that itemid in the set (or true if the item has no attached value). Also contains the field .set, which is the set's name.

Remarks

Use this function if you need to display a list of items in a set or something similar.

Example

PT:GetSetTable("Reagent.Ammo")

 :GetSetStringCompressed("setname")

Returns the set data that PT3 has for a given set, without uncompressing it into a useable form. Will also autogenerate the correct strings for virtual children (which are implied in "c[]" sets) or virtual parents (which are implied in the data hierarchy).

Args

"setname" 
string - The name of a set within PT3

Returns

string - The compressed set string for this set.

Remarks

A quick and simple function for checking the state of a set. Good for keeping an eye on a dynamic custom set.

Example

PT:GetSetStringCompressed("MyAddon.DataB")

 :GetSetStringUncompressed("setname")

Returns the set data that PT3 has for a given set, uncompressed into a usable form. Will also autogenerate the correct strings for virtual children (which are implied in "c[]" sets) or virtual parents (which are implied in the data hierarchy).

Args

"setname" 
string - The name of a set within PT3

Returns

string - The uncompressed set string for this set.

Remarks

A quick and simple function for checking the state of a set. Good for keeping an eye on a dynamic custom set.

Example

PT:GetSetStringUncompressed("MyAddon.DataE")

 :ItemInSet(item, "setname")

Find if an item is contained within a set.

Args

item 
string or number - The itemid or itemlink of an item
"setname" 
string - The name of a set within PT3

Returns

string - the value of this item within the given set.

string - the set that this item was found within.

Example

PT:ItemInSet(24468, "Tradeskill.Crafted")

 :AddData("name", arg2[, arg3])

Add custom data to PeriodicTable-3.0

Args

"name" 
string - The name of the set or module you're importing
arg2 
string or table - The contents of the set's string -or- the table of the module -or- the module's version string
arg3 
table - The module's data contents (if you provided a version number)

Remarks

Add data to PT3. Note that you can use this function to overwrite data that's already present, if, for example, a custom set gets changed.

Example

PT:AddData("MyAddon.SetA", "u,11436:Moose,7521:Sock")
PT:AddData("MyAddon", {["MyAddon.SetA"] = "u,11436:Moose,7521:Sock", ["MyAddon.SetB"] = "5132,25443",})
PT:AddData("MyAddon", "$Rev: 23470 $" ,{["MyAddon.SetA"] = "u,11436:Moose,7521:Sock", ["MyAddon.SetB"] = "5132,25443"})

 :ItemSearch(item)

Search for an item in the PT3 data library.

Args

item 
string or number - itemid or itemlink

Returns

table - a table of all the sets this item is a member of.

Remarks

This sucker is slow and heavy. It takes about 0.12 seconds for me at the moment. And it needs to uncompress -all- the set's data. The bad news is that this eats a ton of memory, the good news is that it can be reclaimed by the GC directly afterward. I'd suggest only using this when requested by the user, and then running collectgarbage() right afterward. If you must run this automatically, cache the results.

Example

PT:ItemSearch(14373)

 :GetNumSets()

Returns the number of sets currently in the PT3 set library. Note that "c[]" style sets will take up more spots after being requested, so don't be alarmed if this number grows during operation.

Returns

number - the number of sets.

Remarks

Just kinda a 'toy' function for statistical purposes.

Example

PT:GetNumSets()

 :GetNumCachedSets()

Returns the number of set tables currently in the PT3 cache.

Returns

number - the number of sets.

Remarks

Just kinda a 'toy' function for statistical purposes.

Example

PT:GetNumCachedSets()

 :GetBetter("setname",itema,itemb)

Return which one of the items has the higher value.

Args

"setname" 
string - PT3 set name
itema 
string or number - itemid or itemlink
itemb 
string or number - itemid or itemlink

Returns

number - the itemid of the higher valued item.

Example

PT:GetBetter("Rep.Rewards",13221,32002)

 :GetBest("setname")

Get the highest valued item in this set.

Args

"setname" 
string - PT3 set name

Returns

number - the itemid of the highest valued item

number - the value of the highest valued item

Example

PT:GetBest("Rep.Rewards")

 :IsSetMulti(set)

Check to see if a set is a multiset.

Args

set 
string - name of a set

Returns

boolean - true if set is a multiset, false if set is not, nil if set does not exist.

Remarks

Most handy for determining how to iterate a set table. See :GetSetTable() for more info

Example

PT:IsSetMulti("InstanceLoot.Tempest Keep")

 :IterateSet(set)

Iterate all the items in a given set.

Args

set 
string - name of a set

Returns

number - itemid of the item string or boolean - value of the item string - set origin of the item

Example

for item, value, set in PT:IterateSet("Misc.Minipet") do
    self:Print(item,value,set)
end
