Call as
Conditions.equipment.subclassName(id)
Record the dependency Conditions.equipment.subclassName, then call it by that name. A namespaced call does not pass self: use a colon call or pass the object yourself.
What it does
Names a weapon subclass for WEAPON_TYPE descriptions, using the client's GetItemSubClassInfo when it returns a readable name, else the addon's built-in name, else "weapon type N".
Arguments
| Name | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
id | number | Weapon subclass ID. |
Returns
| 1 | string | Display name for the subclass. |
|---|
Editions
Built In helpers are registered on every edition. What differs is the game API they read; where one is missing the helper falls back or returns nil with a reason.
- Not available on that edition (the reason is in the tooltip)
- Only while Blizzard's deprecation fallbacks are on
Secret values (Retail and Forever)
On Retail and Forever the game hands addons secret values. This helper checks what it reads (addon.Platform:CanReadValue) and returns nil with a reason such as restricted-value instead of a secret it cannot compare. Treat nil as unavailable, not as false.
How the addon calls it
- Weapon Type (print)
if value.subclass ~= nil then what = subclassName(value.subclass) else what = kinds[value.kind] end
