Module:HeroData/doc

This module allows for the dynamic extraction of hero data parameters, technical properties, and translated profiles stored within the wiki's Cargo database (specifically from the Hero and Translation tables). It automatically handles localized fallback to English if a translation in the requested language is missing.

Basic Syntax

To fetch a data field, use the following syntax:

{{#invoke:HeroData|get|HERO_ID|VARIABLE|LANGUAGE_CODE}}

• HERO_ID : The technical identifier of the hero (e.g., dungeon_hero_3).
• VARIABLE : The keyword for the specific data field you want to display (see the list below).
• LANGUAGE_CODE : (Optional) The localization code (e.g., en, fr, pl). Defaults to English (en).

Available Variables

📝 Text & Translations (Language-Dependent)

These fields query the Translation table. They dynamically adapt to the requested language code and fallback to English seamlessly if missing.

Variable	Description	Database Filter Relation
name	The localized name of the hero.	type="hero"
description	The localized official biography or lore text of the hero.	type="hero"
motto	The hero's localized specific quote or motto.	type="hero_motto"

⚔️ Split Starting Skills (Virtual Fields)

Instead of returning a comma-separated string from the database, the module automatically slices the data array into distinct outputs:

Variable	Description	Fallback Behavior
start_skill_1	Returns the technical ID of the hero's primary starting skill.	Always returns the first value found.
start_skill_2	Returns the technical ID of the hero's secondary starting skill.	Returns an empty string ("") if the hero only has one starting skill.

⚙️ Core Technical Properties

Standard database values extracted directly from the primary Hero table records.

Variable	Description	Example Value
class_id	Pointers linking to the hero's mechanical archetype.	might_dungeon
specialization_id	Points to the unique skill perk assigned to this specific hero unit.	dungeon_hero_3_specialization
faction	The alignment group or city archetype the hero is drafted under.	dungeon
