[Archive] Repack 4.3.4 - Player's current Map Area ID stored in database?
Original source
Hello! I'm wondering if there's any way to find the player's current Map Area ID in the database?
You can find the Map Area ID of your character in-game with /script print(GetCurrentMapAreaID())
I can only find the player's Map ID (as in Eastern Kingdoms/Kalimdor/etc) in the database (characters.map) or Instance ID. Naturally, the position_x position_y position_z values are available but they do not lend easily to figuring out the Map Area ID.
Is there anywhere I can find this currently being stored? If not, would it be difficult to add this as well? Thanks for your help!

in-game

Thanks. I'm aware of the in-game options. I'm wondering if it would be possible to surface some of that data in the database. It would be nice to externalize their positions onto a real-time map for instance, or just to give a "who is online?" list with their location included.
