Module:HeroData

Module documentation [edit] [purge]

Also see:

• Module:HeroData/nav - For nav box purposes
• Module:HeroData/release - For determining the release status of a hero

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:
Using hero name in english

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|MaxHealth}}

Using hero key

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|hero_atlas|MaxHealth}}

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|FalloffStartRange}}

Round to 2 sig figs

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|FalloffStartRange|2}}

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|WeaponName}}

Localize

{{#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:
Using hero name in english

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_list_elem|Abrams|WeaponTypes|2}}

Using hero key

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_list_elem|hero_atlas|WeaponTypes|2}}

{{#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:

{{#invoke:HeroData|write_infobox|HERO_NAME}}

Which outputs

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:

{{#invoke:HeroData|write_stat_infoboxes|HERO_NAME}}

Which outputs

write_hero_comparison_table

Writes the Hero Comparison table for a specific Level and Spirit Power

Parameters

• level - Number of Levels / 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:

{{#invoke:HeroData|write_hero_comparison_table|LEVEL|SPIRITPOWER}}

Which outputs

Localizable values

Localizable values as of writing this:

• Lore
• Playstyle
• Role
• WeaponDescription
• WeaponName
• elements in WeaponTypes
• elements in RecommendedItems
