Returns info for the instance lock timer for the current instance.
lockTimeleft, isPreviousInstance, encountersTotal, encountersComplete = GetInstanceLockTimeRemaining()
Returns[]
- lockTimeLeft
- number - Seconds until lock period ends.
- isPreviousInstance
- boolean - Whether this instance has yet to be entered since last lockout expired (allowing for lock extension options).
- encountersTotal
- number - Total number of bosses in the instance.
- encountersComplete
- number - Number of bosses already dead in the instance.
Details[]
- On the continent of Pandaria, unlike other open world continents,
encountersTotal
is reported as 4. According to GetInstanceLockTimeRemainingEncounter, this corresponds with the first 4 Pandaria world bosses of the expansion - Galleon, Sha of Anger, Nalak, and Oondasta. - As of patch 5.4, the new world boss system isolates non-instance lockouts to GetNumSavedWorldBosses and GetSavedWorldBossInfo. It is likely that interacting with those bosses or their loot no longer has any effect on the old instance-based system represented by this function.
Patch changes[]
Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): isPreviousInstance
return value added.
