-: Returns the subzone text, if the player is in a subzone. The event '"ZONE_CHANGED"' is triggered when the text changes. See also the related functions [[API_GetMinimapZoneText|GetMinimapZoneText]] and [[API_GetZoneText|GetZoneText]].
-: Additional note: Blizzard also registers the event '''ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS'''. If you know what this event is used for, please edit the page.
-The event '''ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS''' is fired (for example) when you walk from "Dun Morogh" into "Ironforge". This sample [http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WelcomeHome_-_Your_first_Ace2_Addon Your first Ace2 Addon] doesn't work when you walk that way cause it is missing the last zone change.
