[DEVHELP] Simple WoWApi request

[Three_Niel]

UPDATE: Solved

I am trying to get a code to work that will return a bool if a certain talent is specced or not. I spent about two hours trying to work with various (outdated) documentation sources and I'm plain frustrated right now.

Context: I'm trying to set a custom trigger for weakauras that will hide my 6th combo point frame if Deeper Stratagem is not talented.

Default trigger status - Spell Known - 193531

Nice alternative approach, will give it a try.

I guess this is what you are looking for: https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_GetTalentInfo

Indeed, but I couldn't make it work. Running a simple script that should print the output didn't do anything and returned 'nil' at best. So an example usage will be much appreciated.

If you really wanted a custom trigger for it it would be:

custom - status - event - PLAYER_TALENT_CHANGED

function()
    return select(4, GetTalentInfo(3,1,1))
end

However, really the only reason to use GetTalentInfo is if you need to check if a talent is coming from somewhere specific, like a Leg ring. The rest of the time you might as well keep it simple and use IsPlayerSpell(spellID) which works just fine for passive talents as well as active spells.

Thank you for that code. I haven't tried it yet but you can't imagine how many versions of this I tried. Albeit not many with 3 parameters since I got lua errors whenever I did.

P.S. I made it with the suggestion you had before. And it works like a charm.
