Parameters

Returns

zoneName
String - zone name (localized).

Example

local zoneName = GetZoneText();
message(zoneName);

Notes

The event ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA is triggered when the text changes. See also the related functions GetSubZoneText and GetMinimapZoneText.

Additional note: Blizzard also registers the event ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS. If you know what this event is used for, please edit this page.

The event ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS would most likely be used if you were creating a minimap modification to notify you that you have gone into a building to change the minimap texture and the text above it to indicate the building you are in -- Salanex
