Dragonstar map name?

I am trying to find a way to detect that I zoomed into the Dragonstar map.
It should be a global name that works across client languages.

I tried "string.match(GetMapTileTexture(), "%w+/%w+/%w+/(%w+)_%w+_%d.dds")"
but that gives nothing.
All I can get is the "353" for Craglorn using "GetCurrentMapZoneIndex()". What am I missing?

UPDATE: I have found it's the same problem with the Harborage, at least in Stonefalls.

It looks to me like something like this is the only solution at the moment:

Lua Code:

local subzone = string.match(GetMapTileTexture(), "%w+/%w+/%w+/(%w+)_%w+_%d.dds")
        if GetCurrentMapZoneIndex() == 353 and subzone == nil then
            subzone = "dragonstar"
        end

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Usual pattern for map name looks like this:
"Art/maps/alikr/alikr_base_0.dds"

But Dragonstar map uses slightly different pattern name:
"Art/maps/craglorn/craglorn_dragonstar_base_0.dds"

For example this LibMapPins code

Lua Code:

local zone, subzone = LibStub("LibMapPins-1.0"):GetZoneAndSubzone()

returns forDragonstar:
"craglorn", "craglorn_dragonstar"

and for Alik'r:
"alikr", "alikr_base"

You can either change your pattern or just use return value from LibMapPins (Destinations uses this library already).

I don't know for sure if POIIndices ever change. I've only been messing with them & the map for the last couple of days, but I don't recall seeing any of them change value.

Maybe someone else with more experience with them could comment on that, but this seems to work:

Lua Code:

local iZoneIdex, iPoiIndex = GetCurrentSubZonePOIIndices()
if iZoneIdex == 353 and iPoiIndex == 74 then 
    d("In dragonstar")
end

**** EDIT: ****************************************
I should have clarified you asked how to detect the change. You could check it in the EVENT_ZONE_CHANGED

Lua Code:

local function onZoneChanged(eventCode, zoneName, subZoneName, newSubzone)     
if subZoneName == GetPOIInfo(353, 74) then
      d("I'M IN DRAGONSTAR")
else
      d("I'm not in dragonstar")
end
 
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(WaypointIt.name, EVENT_ZONE_CHANGED, onZoneChanged)

**************************************************

Or if you want to be safe, use the POIIndex to get the objectiveName and see if its "Dragonstar"

Lua Code:

local iZoneIdex, iPoiIndex = GetCurrentSubZonePOIIndices()
if iZoneIdex == 353 and iPoiIndex == 74 then 
    d("In dragonstar")
end
 
local objectiveName, objectiveLevel, startDescription, finishedDescription = GetPOIInfo(iZoneIdex, iPoiIndex)
if iZoneIdex == 353 and objectiveName == "Dragonstar" then
    d("Also in dragonstar")
end

Thanks both of you for your replies :)
I went with the one Garkin offered as LibMapPins is already used in my addon.
Was very easy to implement.

Case closed :)
