Template:NpcIdFromName

Documentation The documentation below is transcluded from Template:NpcIdFromName/doc. (edit | history)

[purge]

This template returns the NPC ID of an NPC based on its name. It requires the exact name of the NPC, with potential sub-names in parentheses (e.g. Kobold Glider (T3)).

Usage

{{ npcIdFromName | <NPC name> (optional) }}

First unnamed parameter

Name of the NPC. Can be omitted in order to simply load the database and use the generated #dplvars elsewhere.

Notes

Since worms consist of several NPCs with different IDs, lacking a result for their trivial name, the ID of the worm's head will be returned when using its trivial name. Requesting Wyvern, for instance, results in 87, while the Wyvern's single NPC IDs are as follows:

Wyvern Head	87
Wyvern Legs	88
Wyvern Body	89
Wyvern Body 2	90
Wyvern Body 3	91
Wyvern Tail	92

The same applies to other NPCs that share a name, such as the variants of the Old One's Army's enemies in the different tiers. Check the source code of this template to make sure it produces no unexpected results.

Examples

Code	Result
{{npcIdFromName|Eye of Cthulhu}}	4
{{npcIdFromName|Sand Poacher (On Wall)}}	531
