Talk:WORLD MAP OPEN

Not a real event?

WorldMapFrame:HookScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...) print(event, ...) end);
WorldMapFrame:RegisterEvent("WORLD_MAP_OPEN");

After writing the first line, and even after then adding the second just to be sure, I cannot ever get this alleged event to actually fire. I do know it exists because there's no error message, but I can't figure out what it actually does to make a useful update. It almost seems like an empty placeholder.

It seems like it would only fire when Blizzard wants to manually trigger opening the map for the player, similar to how in-game cinematics are triggered. Ketho (talk) 19:50, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Talking to Wrathion, before starting the Horrific Vision, has an option to "show the map of the vision" which opens the world map UI. Maybe that is where this manual trigger is called. — SurafbrovWarcraft Wiki administrator T / C 20:09, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
