Changes: API GetCurrentMapZone

Latest revision as of 18:12, 4 April 2020

Returns the index of the zone the world map is currently showing

zoneIndex = GetCurrentMapZone();

zoneIndex

zoneIndex: Number - The index of the currently displayed zone within the continent (obtained via GetMapZones(continentIndex)), or 0 if showing the entire continent.

message(GetCurrentMapZone());

Note that the value returned represents the map display, and not necessarily the player's actual location. The SetMapToCurrentZone() function will reset the values to represent the player's location.
Note that zone IDs returned by this function are not the same across all localizations of World of Warcraft.
