QuestLink

Last wiki revision 2022-05-29

In essence, quest links are questStrings with additional formatting to make in-game text controls display them as clickable hyperlinks.

Broken up in its components:

  • – Colorizes the link with a gray color
  • The first two characters after pipe-c may be the alpha level, where is fully opaque.
  • The next three sets of two characters represent the red, green, and blue levels, just like HTML.
  • – "Hyperlink link data starts here"
  • – Read more at questString.
  • – "End of link, text follows"
  • – The actual text displayed
  • – "End of hyperlink"
  • – Restores color to normal

To make this link appear in-game, for example you could paste one of these into your chat:

/script SendChatMessage(" \124cffffff00\124Hquest:99:15\124h[Arugal's Folly]\124h\124r", "SAY", "Common"); /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Shift-click this link to put into chat: \124cffffff00\124Hquest:99:15\124h[Arugal's Folly]\124h\124r");
