This is no longer a part of the World of Warcraft API. It was removed in patch 8.0.1.

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

zoneIndex = GetCurrentMapZone();

Returns

zoneIndex

zoneIndex

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

Example

message(GetCurrentMapZone());

Result

Notes

• 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.
