ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA new behaviour
 

Hi,

before 6.0 i could catch the event ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA and do

local zoneInfo = EJ_GetCurrentInstance();

Unfortunately in 6.X zoneInfo is the old InstanceID. So i had to work around this and delay my function so that the correct InstanceID was returned.

thought that would be nice to know

EJ_GetCurrentInstance relies on what the world map is set to, you may have to call SetMapToCurrentZone() beforehand for accurate results.

thank you, it works and honestly i think it fits better than my workaround.

just for my information: where do you get such knowledge ? i mean that some Events rely on other functions to provide correct data

I only know that it relies on the map through experimentation when I was working on an addon that used encounter journal functions.

I tried a few maps without EJ bosses on them and they all return 0 for the instance, then when I opened the map to valley of the four winds it returned 322 because it has a world boss on it.
