WowGameObject

WowGameObject is a userdata type used by the Tinkr API to reference an internal game object. This direct object reference is the most performant way to pass objects around.

Note

All WowGameObject references are ephemeral, and should never be stored for use later. Use the object inside the context of the iteration or directly after obtaining it. There is no guarantee on an objects lifetime and they will be garbage collected as soon as possible.

WowGameObject Types

Types are defined by the following Enum:

enum ObjectType {
    Object, // 0
    Item,
    Container,
    AzeriteEmpoweredItem,
    AzeriteItem,
    Unit,
    Player,
    ActivePlayer,
    GameObject,
    DynamicObject,
    Corpse,
    AreaTrigger,
    SceneObject,
    ConversationData, // 13
};
enum ObjectType {
    Object, // 0
    Item,
    Container,
    AzeriteEmpoweredItem,
    AzeriteItem,
    Unit,
    Player,
    ActivePlayer,
    GameObject,
    DynamicObject,
    Corpse,
    AreaTrigger,
    SceneObject,
    ConversationData, // 13
};

Example

Getting a single WowGameObject reference.

local object = Object(unitID)
-- handle object
local object = Object(unitID)
-- handle object

Getting an array of only WowGameObject's of type GameObject.

local objects = Objects(8)
-- handle GameObject's
local objects = Objects(8)
-- handle GameObject's
