Zone

The zone you are currently in.

Forms

zone Zone

Returns the current zone.

Usage

eq2.print("in " .. mq.TLO.Zone.Name())

Members

mq.TLO.Zone.Name()        -- string, "" before you are in the world
mq.TLO.Zone.ShortName()   -- internal zone identity key (same value today)

The same value is on every actor as Zone(). It is world-global, so mq.TLO.Target.Zone() and mq.TLO.Zone.Name() are the same string — the actor form is a convenience, not a per-actor read.

Waiting to be in-world

Name() is "" at character select and mid-zone, which makes it a reasonable "am I in the world yet" gate for a script that starts before you are:

while mq.TLO.Zone.Name() == "" do eq2.delay(500) end
eq2.print("ready in " .. mq.TLO.Zone.Name())
