API GetCurrentMapContinent

Last wiki revision 2020-04-04

Returns the index of the continent the world map is currently showing continent = GetCurrentMapContinent

  • continent : Number - Indicates which continent (from GetMapContinents) the map is currently showing, or 0 for all.
  • -1 - if showing the cosmic map or a Battleground map. Also when showing The Scarlet Enclave, the Death Knights' starting area.
  • 0 - if showing the entire world of Azeroth
  • 1 - if showing Kalimdor, or a zone map within it.
  • 2 - if showing Eastern Kingdoms, or a zone map within it.
  • 3 - if showing Outland, or a zone map within it.
  • 4 - if showing Northrend, or a zone map within it.
  • 5 - if showing the Maelstrom, or a zone map within it (such as Kezan or the Lost Isles.)
  • 6 - if showing Pandaria, or a zone map within it.
  • 7 - if showing Draenor, or a zone map within it.
  • 8 - if showing the Broken Isles, or a zone map within it.
  • 9 - if showing Argus, or a zone map within it.
  • Note that the value returned represents the map being displayed, and not necessarily the player's actual location. The SetMapToCurrentZone function will reset the values to represent the player's location.
  • For macros however, since the map display is reset to the player's location when the world map is closed, this can be used as the player's location.
