Module:HeroData

From The Deadlock Wiki

Also see:

Overview[edit source]

This module provides functions to create hero infoboxes, statboxes, or retrieve hero information using the data uploaded to Data:HeroData.json.

Both will automatically be translated depending on the language selected. If called on

  • Page - translates to english
  • Page/en - translates to english
  • Page/es - translates to spanish

See Template:Lang for more

Functions[edit source]

get_hero_var[edit source]

Retrieve a hero variable's value, such as Abram's MaxHealth

Parameters[edit source]

  • hero_name - Name of the hero in english, or key of the hero. Preferred and recommended to use hero key, as its much more efficient. Search for the key in Data:HeroData.json
  • hero_var - Key of the hero's variable, see Data:HeroData.json
  • sig_figs_or_localize - OPTIONAL, # of sig figs to round to if retrieving a float, or "true" if its a string that should be localized. See Localizable values section.

Note: Recommended to use hero key where possible, i.e. hero_atlas as its O(1) time complexity instead of hero name (Abrams) which is O(N).

Examples[edit source]

From wikitext:
Using hero name in english

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|MaxHealth}}

Using hero key

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|hero_atlas|MaxHealth}}

{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Abrams|WeaponName|true}}

Notes[edit source]

Only usable on variables that are integers, strings, or floats (meaning not dictionaries/hashes or arrays/lists).

If using sig_figs parameter, ensure the value is a float.

If using localize parameter, ensure the value is a string. See Data:HeroData.json, you will notice that hero_astro's "Lore" variable has the value "hero_astro_lore". This key is then sent to Module:Lang which checks for it in Data:Lang_en.json (or a different language).

get_list_elem[edit source]

Retrieve a specified element from a list

Parameters[edit source]

  • hero_name - Name of the hero in english, or hero key. Preferred and recommended to use hero key, as its much more efficient. Search for the key in Data:HeroData.json
  • hero_var - Key of the hero's variable, see Data:HeroData.json
  • number - Index to retrieve from the list. 1 for 1st element, 2 for 2nd element, etc.
  • localize - OPTIONAL - "true" if its a string that should be localized. See Localizable values section.

Example[edit source]

From wikitext:
Using hero name in english

get_hero_scalar[edit source]

Retrieve a hero variable's scalar value that is inside either "Spirit Scaling" or "Level Scaling", such as Abram's BulletDamage (scaling).

Parameters[edit source]

  • hero_key - Key of the hero. Search for the key of a given hero in Data:HeroData.json
  • scaling_type - "Spirit" or "Level"
  • hero_var - Key of the hero's variable that is inside either "Spirit Scaling" or "Level Scaling", see Data:HeroData.json
  • sig_figs_or_localize - OPTIONAL, # of sig figs to round to.

write_infobox[edit source]

Writes a Template:Infobox_hero template call for a given hero

Parameters[edit source]

  • hero_name – Name of the hero, in english

Example[edit source]

From wikitext:

{{#invoke:HeroData|write_infobox|HERO_NAME}}

Which outputs Hero Abrams Not Found


write_stat_infoboxes[edit source]

Writes all 3 Template:Infobox_stat template calls (Weapon, Vitality, Spirit) for a given hero

Parameters[edit source]

  • hero_name – Name of the hero, in english

Example[edit source]

From wikitext:

{{#invoke:HeroData|write_stat_infoboxes|HERO_NAME}}

write_hero_comparison_table[edit source]

Writes the Hero Comparison table for a specific Level and Spirit Power

Parameters[edit source]

  • level - Number of Levels / Power Increases
  • spirit_power - Amount of Spirit power

Both parameters are optional, as if both are 0 or not provided, the outputted table will be at base and will also include the level/SS scaling in each cell along with the base value, rather than the scaled value.
