WoW:API GetMapZones

GetMapZones -Documentation by Meog-

Returns the zone names of a continent

zone_1, zone_2, ..., zone_N = GetMapZones(continentIndex);

---

Arguments

(continentIndex)

continentIndex

Number - Which continent to fetch the zone list from (continent indexes refer to the result of GetMapContinents()). Currently the values are 1 for Kalimdor, and 2 for Eastern Kingdoms.

---

Returns

zone_1, zone_2, ..., zone_N

zone_i

String - The name of the i'th zone within the continent (i corresponds to the value GetCurrentMapZone() returns)

---

Example

ZoneNames = {};

function LoadZones(...)
   for i=1, arg.n, 1 do
      ZoneNames[i] = arg[i];
   end
end

LoadZones(GetMapZones(2)); -- Eastern Kingdoms

Note that this is equivalent to

ZoneNames = { GetMapZones(2) } ;

Result

The array ZoneNames holds all available zone names of the Eastern Kingdoms:
ZoneNames[1] == "Alterac Mountains"
ZoneNames[2] == "Arathi Highlands"
...
ZoneNames[25] == "Wetlands"

Details

There are a different number of zones on each continent and these may change without notice as new content is added. Use the name of a zone if you wish to make your code future-proof.
