[5E] Get the list of all classes

[st4lk3r87]

Hello!

I'd like to retrieve from codes all the classes that are loaded. So if there's a module that contains new classes I'll be able to get them too.

I'm pretty sure it's very easy to do but I can't really understand how it can be done.

for _,nodeClass in pairs(DB.getChildrenGlobal("class")) do
Debug.console("nodeClass:",nodeClass);
end

Argh!!! I totally missed the getChildrenGlobal. Thank you!
I've tried it and it works only with custom classes. It looks like to get all the classes located in other modules (like the PHB) I have to use "reference.classdata" instead of "class". Is it wrong?

Read-only data (usually in commercial modules) is in the reference.*** database path. Some info on editable and read-only data here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Campaign_and_Module_Data_File_Overview#CoreRPG_Dat a_File_Format

Thank you Trenloe. So if I want to retrieve all the classes I should collect from "class" path and "refernece.classdata" I guess.

Yup.

What I've done for lookups in the PFRPG2 ruleset is to look in three places in order:
In the campaign data first - this allows the GM to override standard entries with their own custom data.
Editable entries in modules.
Read-only entries in modules.

There is a function in the CoreRPG LibraryData script to retrieve all the registered node paths.



local vMappings = LibraryData.getMappings("class");
for i = 1, #vMappings do
for _,nodeClass in pairs(DB.getChildrenGlobal(vMappings[i])) do
Debug.console("nodeClass:",nodeClass);
end
end

Thank you!
Does this approach cover all the three steps mentioned by Trenloe?

Yes, for 5E ruleset.
