nxa.GetItemIds (deprecated)

Description

This function returns a zero-index based list of item IDs matching the provided criteria.

This function returns an array which starts with index 0. Since LUA arrays are normally starting with index 1, typical LUA array functions like looping through the array (“for index, itemId in pairs(itemIds) do”) and getting the size of the array (“table.getn(itemIds)”) will not work. Please use the function nxa.GetItemIds2 instead.
