pvpType, isFFA, faction = GetZonePVPInfo()

Returns[]

pvpType
string - One of the following values:
  • "arena" if you are in an arena
  • "friendly" if the zone is controlled by the faction the player belongs to.
  • "contested" if the zone is contested (PvP server only)
  • "hostile" if the zone is controlled by the opposing faction.
  • "sanctuary" if the zone is a sanctuary and does not allow pvp combat (2.0.x).
  • "combat" if it is a combat zone where players are automatically flagged for PvP combat (3.0.x). Currently applies only to the Wintergrasp zone.
  • nil, if the zone is none of the above. Happens inside instances, including battlegrounds, and on PvE servers when the zone would otherwise be "contested".
isFFA
