Details

When using this function to feed other LFG functions with its results, remember that these functions only want the index of the value, not the value itself. If you wanted to use 'Zone' as category, you would have to supply the number 4. Look at the example!

Example

local types = {GetLFGTypes()}
for i,category in pairs(types) do
  DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format('Category %u: %s', i, category))
end

Output:

Category 1: Dungeon
Category 2: Raid
Category 3: Quest
Category 4: Zone
Category 5: Battleground
