API GetLFGMode

Returns the current mode while in LFG.

mode, submode = GetLFGMode(category, lfgID)

Note that Blizzard divides "Looking For ___" functions into three categories: LFR specific to the raid finder, LFD specific to the 5-player instance finder, and generic "Looking For Group" routines like this one, applicable to both of the finder/matching tools.

• category : number - One of the LE_LFG_CATEGORY_* constants (see below).

• mode : string - returns your LFG status for that category.
• submode : string - returns your LFG sub-status (additional details).

Multiple status modes additionally indicate whether the player has the ability to queue/re-queue/de-queue (empowered) or not (the default, unempowered). As a rule, solo players and players in Dungeon Finder groups are empowered; in a raid group only the leader and assistants are empowered.

This function is implemented in FrameXML/UIParent.lua. In 4.x, this function took no arguments; with 5.x and the advent of multiple queues, the category argument specifies which queue to examine for data:

• LE_LFG_CATEGORY_LFD : the dungeon finder
• LE_LFG_CATEGORY_RF : the raid finder (automated matchmaking)
• LE_LFG_CATEGORY_SCENARIO : scenarios
• LE_LFG_CATEGORY_LFR : the raid browser
