Talk:API GetCurrentMapZone

4.01 Patch in the Badlands for example results in:

[21:13:18]Dump: value=GetPlayerMapPosition("player")
[21:13:18][1]=0.42797207832336,
[21:13:18][2]=0.52290499210358

X/Y coords like before.

Now, let's do a dump of GetCurrentMapZone:

[21:17:01]Dump: value=GetCurrentMapZone()
[21:17:01][1]=13,
[21:17:01][2]=-2079.1665039063,
[21:17:01][3]=-5889.5830078125,
[21:17:01][4]=-4566.6665039063,
[21:17:01][5]=-7547.9165039063

we have 4 additional return values. In my opinion exactly what Astrolabe, Deus Vox Encounters and DeadlyBossmods and others use for their rangecalculations

If we do :

/run local _, left, top, right, bot = GetCurrentMapZone() local x, y = GetPlayerMapPosition("player") y, x =(1.0-x)*left+x*right , (1.0-y)*top+y*bot print("Coordinates: ", x, ", ", y)

we will receive the wow-internal world coordinates i would call them

[21:17:59]Coordinates:  -6756.0849581447 ,  -3143.1858598292
