== Overview ==

This module provides functions to create hero infoboxes, statboxes, or retrieve hero information using the data uploaded to [[Data:HeroData.json]].

Both will automatically be translated depending on the language selected. If called on
* '''[[Page]] - translates to english
* '''[[Page/en]] - translates to english
* '''[[Page/es]] - translates to spanish
See [[Template:Lang]] for more

== Functions ==

=== get_hero_var ===
Retrieve a hero variable's value, such as Abram's MaxHealth

====Parameters====
* '''hero_name''' - Name of the hero in english, or key of the hero. Preferred and recommended to use hero key, as its much more efficient. Search for the key in [[Data:HeroData.json]]
* '''hero_var''' - Key of the hero's variable, see [[Data:HeroData.json]]
* '''sig_figs_or_localize''' - OPTIONAL, # of sig figs to round to if retrieving a float, or "true" if its a string that should be localized. See Localizable values section.

Note: Recommended to use hero key where possible, i.e. hero_atlas as its O(1) time complexity instead of hero name (Abrams) which is O(N).

====Examples====
From wikitext:<br>
Using hero name in english

<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|MaxHealth}}</pre>
{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|MaxHealth}}


Using hero key

<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|hero_atlas|MaxHealth}}</pre>
{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|hero_atlas|MaxHealth}}


<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|FalloffStartRange}}</pre>
{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|FalloffStartRange}}


Round to 2 sig figs

<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|FalloffStartRange|2}}</pre>
{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|FalloffStartRange|2}}


<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|WeaponName}}</pre>
{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|WeaponName}}


Localize

<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|WeaponName|true}}</pre>
{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|WeaponName|true}}

====Notes====
Only usable on variables that are integers, strings, or floats (meaning not dictionaries/hashes or arrays/lists).

If using sig_figs parameter, ensure the value is a float.

If using localize parameter, ensure the value is a string. See [[Data:HeroData.json]], you will notice that hero_astro's "Lore" variable has the value "hero_astro_lore". This key is then sent to [[Module:Lang]] which checks for it in [[Data:Lang_en.json]] (or a different language).

=== get_list_elem ===
Retrieve a specified element from a list

==== Parameters ====
* '''hero_name''' - Name of the hero in english, or hero key. Preferred and recommended to use hero key, as its much more efficient. Search for the key in [[Data:HeroData.json]]
* '''hero_var''' - Key of the hero's variable, see [[Data:HeroData.json]]
* '''number''' - Index to retrieve from the list. 1 for 1st element, 2 for 2nd element, etc.
* '''localize''' - OPTIONAL - "true" if its a string that should be localized. See Localizable values section.

==== Example ====
From wikitext:<br>
Using hero name in english
<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|get_list_elem|Abrams|WeaponTypes|2}}</pre>
{{#invoke:HeroData|get_list_elem|Abrams|WeaponTypes|2}}


Using hero key
<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|get_list_elem|hero_atlas|WeaponTypes|2}}</pre>
{{#invoke:HeroData|get_list_elem|hero_atlas|WeaponTypes|2}}


<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|get_list_elem|Abrams|WeaponTypes|2|true}}</pre>
{{#invoke:HeroData|get_list_elem|Abrams|WeaponTypes|2|true}}

=== write_infobox ===
Writes a [[Template:Infobox_hero]] template call for a given hero

====Parameters====
* '''hero_name''' – Name of the hero, in english

====Example====
From wikitext:<br>
<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|write_infobox|HERO_NAME}}</pre>

Which outputs
{{#invoke:HeroData|write_infobox|Abrams}}

=== write_stat_infoboxes ===
Writes all 3 [[Template:Infobox_stat]] template calls (Weapon, Vitality, Spirit) for a given hero

====Parameters====
* '''hero_name''' – Name of the hero, in english

====Example====
From wikitext:<br>
<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|write_stat_infoboxes|HERO_NAME}}</pre>

Which outputs
{{#invoke:HeroData|write_stat_infoboxes|Abrams}}

=== write_hero_comparison_table ===
Writes the [[Hero Comparison]] table for a specific Level and Spirit Power

====Parameters====
* '''level''' - Number of [[Level]]s / Power Increases
* '''spirit_power''' - Amount of Spirit power

Both parameters are optional, as if both are 0 or not provided, the outputted table will be at base and will also include the level/SS scaling in each cell along with the base value, rather than the scaled value.

====Example====
From wikitext:<br>
<pre>{{#invoke:HeroData|write_hero_comparison_table|LEVEL|SPIRITPOWER}}</pre>

Which outputs
{{#invoke:HeroData|write_hero_comparison_table|11|200}}

== Localizable values ==

* Lore
* Playstyle
* Role
* WeaponDescription
* WeaponName
* elements in WeaponTypes
