Returns WorldMap POI icon information for the given quest.

completed, posX, posY, objective = QuestPOIGetIconInfo(questId)

Arguments

questId

number - you can get this from the quest link or from GetQuestLogTitle(questLogIndex).

Returns

completed

boolean - is the quest completed (the icon is a question mark).

posX

number (between 0 and 1 inclusive) - the X position where the icon is shown on the map.

posY

number (between 0 and 1 inclusive) - the Y position where the icon is shown on the map.

objective

number - which is sometimes negative and doesn't appear to have anything to do with the quest's actual objectives.

Example

local playerX, playerY = GetPlayerMapPosition("player")
local _, questX, questY = QuestPOIGetIconInfo(12345)
local diffX, diffY = abs(playerX - questX), abs(playerY - questY)
local distanceToTarget = math.sqrt(math.pow(diffX, 2) + math.pow(diffY, 2))
print("You are ", floor(distanceToTarget * 100), " clicks from the target location.")

Results

You are 42 clicks from the target location.
