[Help] Looking for area.name

[foghladha]

Greetings Everyone,
Back in the old days I created a mod that used the following line:

Code: Select all

local areaName = GameData.Player.area.name

To retrieve the area that the player was standing in. So if I was in Spites Reach it would print Spites Reach. Since loading my old mod up on Return of Reckoning the area.name no longer works. Is there a new property I should be using instead?

might be a server packet thingy, since the string for area name is empty;
but you can use

Code: Select all

local areaName = towstring(GetZoneName(GameData.Player.zone))

instead to grab the name of the current zone instead
