(编者注:魔兽世界的API接口函数库相当庞大,本类的整理将是一个长期的编辑过程,逐步汉化,同时欢迎对魔兽世界宏与UI有兴趣的各路高手加入本项百科计划!)

魔兽世界API
魔兽世界API是一整套由暴雪提供的,允许玩家通过插件与宏改善魔兽世界游戏用户界面的函数接口功能.
以下是几近完整的函数接口列表,由暴雪开放提供,您可以使用它们创建你自己的插件或者宏.
我们欢迎您将自己了解的更多知识与我们共享,将自己的心得发布上来.

Notation and Conventions (注释与惯例)

本函数大全所出现的函数也包括了用法说明，各参数变量的用法衍生自官方格式，为了使他们看起来更容易理解，格式上作了一些轻微改动．例如：

SetMapZoom(continentIndex{,zoneIndex}) - Sets the current world map to a specific continent and optionally zone（设定当前世界地图为指定的大陆或选定区域）.

本函数包括两个参数，大括号表示第２个参数是可选的，标准用法是用中括号［　］表示，这里用{}作了替换．

TargetUnit("unit") - Selects the specified id as the current target(选定指定玩家ＩＤ为当前目标）.

在参数 unit 两边的引号表示这个参数是个字符串,但这并不意味着该参数总是文字类的字符.

FrameLayout:GetHeight() - Returns the height of the frame layout object.

This example shows that the GetHeight() function is called as a method function on a FrameLayout object (and that it takes no arguments).

When adding new entries to this page, please follow this convention for consistency, since the actual page names are the word API followed by a space and the function name (with no argument information), links are written as follows:

: [[API SetMapZoom|SetMapZoom(continentIndex{,zoneIndex})]]

For object methods, the name includes the object type:

: [[API FrameLayout GetHeight|FrameLayout:GetHeight()]]

Finally, there are a couple of prefixes which can appear before a link. REMOVED indicates that the function has been removed from the API. UI indicates that the function is provided by the FrameXML UI code, rather than the core API.

Play around yourself (玩转函数)

You can easily play with these functions by typing /script FunctionName(arg1,arg2,etc) into the chat box in WoW.

Data and Argument Types(数据与参数类型)

The API uses special values for some function arguments, the commonly used types are:

AuctionSortId - An identifier for sorting columns in the auction house.

AuctionTypeId - An identifier specifying which type of auction to operate on.

ChatTypeId - An identifier for the different chat destination types.

InventorySlotName - Names of inventory slots.

LootRuleId - An identifier for the different looting rule types.

PlayerName - The name of a player.

UnitId - An identifier which specifies one of the units the API may reference.
