In addition, players of certain classes (or with certain talents) mayhave additional actionIDs available corresponding to the ‘‘bonus’’ action bars thatautomatically become available when changing stances, stealthing, shapeshifting, etc.ah-list-typeThere are three different types of auction house listings, represented by string values.These ah-list-type values may be one of the following:list—The items that are currently for sale in the auction house.bidder—The items for which the player has placed a bid.owner—The items that the player has placed up for auction.anchorPointFrames and graphical regions are anchored to each other using anchor points, representedby the anchorPoint meta-type. These points are simple strings that indicate apoint on the region. The following are valid anchor point strings:CENTER LEFT BOTTOMRIGHTBOTTOM RIGHT TOPLEFTTOP BOTTOMLEFT TOPRIGHTarenaTeamIDThe arenaTeamID API meta-type identifies one of the (up to three) arena teams towhich a player can belong. These indices begin at 1 for the player’s smallest team andincrease with size. For example, if the player belongs to a 2v2 team and a 5v5 teamthen 1 will indicate the 2v2 team while 2 refers to the 5v5 team. However, if the playerbelongs to a 3v3 team and a 5v5 team but no 2v2 team, then 1 will indicate the 3v3team, and 2 will again indicate the 5v5 team. If the player is on teams of all three sizes,then 1 indicates the 2v2 team, 2 indicates the 3v3 team and 3 indicates the 5v5 team.The Blizzard UI’s Lua function ArenaTeam_GetTeamSizeIDcan be used to translatea team size (2, 3, or 5) to the appropriate arenaTeamID for the player.auraFilterBuffs and debuffs can be filtered in the WoW API using strings that represent complexaura filters, indicated by the auraFilter meta-type. These strings can contain anynumber of filterers separated by either the pipe character (|) or a space. Possible filtervalues currently include:HELPFUL—Helpful spells (buffs).HARMFUL—Harmful spells (debuffs).PLAYER—Spells that can be cast by the player on themselves.
