Returns info for a specialization.
id, name, description, icon, role, primaryStat = GetSpecializationInfo(specIndex [, isInspect, isPet, inspectTarget, sex]) id, name, description, icon, role, classFile, className = GetSpecializationInfoByID(specID) id, name, description, icon, role, isRecommended, isAllowed = GetSpecializationInfoForClassID(classID, specIndex) id, name, description, icon, role, isRecommended, isAllowed = GetSpecializationInfoForSpecID(specID [, sex])
Arguments
GetSpecializationInfo
- specIndex
- number - Index of the specialization to query, ascending from 1 to GetNumSpecializations().
- isInspect
- boolean? - Whether to query specialization information for the inspected unit. Does not actually seem to work, see #Details.
- isPet
- boolean? - Whether to query specialization information for the player's pet.
- inspectTarget
- unk? - Unknown, not used in FrameXML.
- sex
- number? - Player's sex as returned by UnitSex()
GetSpecializationInfoByID
- specID
- number : SpecializationID
GetSpecializationInfoForClassID
- classID
- number : ClassId
- specIndex
- number?
GetSpecializationInfoForSpecID
- specID
- number : SpecializationID
- sex
- number?
Returns
- id
- number : SpecializationID
- name
- string - Specialization name, e.g. "Balance".
- description
- string - Description of the specialization, e.g. "Can take on the form of a powerful Moonkin, balancing the power of Arcane and Nature magic to destroy enemies at a distance."

GetSpecializationInfo
- primaryStat

1=Strength, 2=Agility, 4=Intellect
GetSpecializationInfoByID
- classFile
- string - Locale-independent class name, e.g.
"PRIEST"
- className

"Priest"
GetSpecializationInfoForClassID/SpecID
- isRecommended
- boolean - If this specialization is recommended for beginners to the class.
- isAllowed
- boolean - If the player is allowed to use this specialization.
Details
- Despite the argument names,
GetSpecializationInfo()
does not appear to return valid information for inspected units. FrameXML uses GetInspectSpecialization() to retrieve a specialization ID instead.
Warning: As of 2012/07/12, this seems to be quite often buggy: The return of GetInspectSpecialization() should be a number less than 500, but sometimes is far greater and not interpretable. FrameXML is therefore 'validating' the value by calling GetSpecializationRoleByID(), and only if that returns a non-nil value, it decodes the number with GetSpecializationInfoByID().
