Module:HeroClass/doc

Description

This module is a comprehensive utility for generating hero class profiles. It integrates statistical data, secondary skill probabilities, and subclass information into a unified, styled infobox layout. It handles multi-language support and automatic data linking via Cargo.

Usage

You can invoke specific sections or the entire main box:

{{#invoke:HeroList|getMainBox|class=...|language=...}}
{{#invoke:HeroList|getStatsTable|class=...}}
{{#invoke:HeroList|getSkillsTable|class=...}}
{{#invoke:HeroList|getSubclassesBlock|class=...}}

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Example
class	The identifier or common name of the hero class (e.g., knight, herald, warlock).	class=Knight
language	Forces the Wiki language (if omitted, it detects the page suffix).	language=fr

Key Features

• Main Infobox (getMainBox): Combines class crests, base stats, skill probabilities, and subclasses into a cohesive, responsive container.
• Dynamic Statistics (getStatsTable): Displays base hero attributes along with growth rates at levels 1-12 and 13+. Features automatic icon rendering.
• Skill Probabilities (getSkillsTable): Retrieves "Skill Roll Weights" from Cargo to generate a comparison table showing the likelihood of learning specific secondary skills.
• Subclass Integration (getSubclassesBlock): Dynamically fetches subclass data, including localization for names and descriptions, and lists activation skills with icons.
• Smart Localization: Automatically detects page language (e.g., /fr) and falls back to English if translations are missing in the Translation table.

Implementation Example

To display the full infobox for the "Knight" class:

{{#invoke:HeroList|getMainBox|class=Knight}}

Technical Notes

• The module uses several Cargo tables: HeroClass, SkillRollWeight, HeroSubClass, and Translation.
• The class_mapping table within the script translates user-friendly names (e.g., "knight") into technical Cargo IDs (e.g., "might_human").
• CSS is embedded inline to ensure the infobox maintains a consistent look across different Wiki skins, using a dark-theme style (#1a1f26 background).
