Get Map ID after loading

Hello.

I'm trying to find out how to get the correct map ID after a loading screen (after using the hearthstone).

Right now I'm trying with the next code:

Code:

addon:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")



addon:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event)



        if event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then

                SetMapToCurrentZone()

                local zone_id, boolean = GetCurrentMapAreaID()

                print("ZONE_ID "..zone_id)

        else

end)

ZONE_ID will get the ID of the map where I was when I used the hearthstone.
I cannot find which is the event that fires once the game is fully loaded (so GetCurrentMapAreaID returns the current map ID and not the previous)

Thanks.

I can't give you the definite answer as I am a newbie developer, but why don't you try use '/eventtrace'?

Pretty sure this is going to work for you to find which event has been fired as well as the variables.

Use ZONE_CHANGED events in addition to PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD:
- ZONE_CHANGED
- ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS
- ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA

Thank you both.

I didn't know about the command eventtrace, very handy!
I'm going to make some tests with those events sezz, and check what's going on with the trace.
