Provide a flag to allow catching skill type
Closed this issue · 4 comments
From this example:
https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/skills?ids=13114&lang=en
Would it be possible to insert some way to catch the skill type so we can customize it? Like recolor it like in-game. Maybe <@skill-type>Stealth Attack.</skill-type>.
Thank you!
^ would be fantastic if we could get it wrapped like that.
there is a categories property though (with e.g. "StealthAttack" in it). is that related?
edit: looks like it is. for now i can just figure it out from that. however its still a problem for anything other than english!
for now im just regex targeting the first two words of the description (that end with a . or a :) and then colouring it.
It would be nice to wrap signet texts too, like <@skill-type>Signet Passive:</skill-type> and <@skill-type>Signet Active:</skill-type>. Don't forget including the period and colon! :D
I'd like to understand this request better, if it's still something you're interested in having.
My perspective is that you can retrieve some JSON that describes a skill; you can traverse that JSON object to locate the "categories" element, and you can see the existing set of values like StealthAttack that are put in that array.
Again, from my perspective, it seems like you should be able to emit any text you want at this point. You know you are parsing skill object JSON, you know you're reading the skill categories, and you know what the set values (StealthAttack) should translate into (<@skill-type>Stealth Attack</skill-type>)
What am I missing here? :-)
Oh, I believe that should suffice. Unless someone else has something extra to add, I think the tools are already there. Thank you.
