Hi guys, I am writing an addon that gets some item ID from the sever and then displays a frame based on this information, but I get all nils before the item has been cached in the client.
How do I go about "caching" the item first before getting the item information? Any ideas? 3.3.5a AzerothCore w AIO
local name, link, rarity, itemLevel, minLevel, type, subType, stackCount, equipLoc, icon, sellPrice = GetItemInfo(itemId);
Are all nil the first time, second time around after relogging I have proper frames and values. Thanks.
Edit: any way to say like, query server for item X, wait until done, continue?

Maybe take a look at Atlas addon to see how to request the info. The client has to send a request to the server for the item information, and the server can throttle the requests.

I'm not sure if you get an event when the correct full item packet has been received

Gotcha, thanks; I ended up querying through request a tooltip with an item entry and then listening to when the first response from that "query" comes back - a bit hacky but does the job.
