GetMapContinents -Documentation by Meog-

Returns a list of continent names

continent_1, continent_2, ..., continent_N = GetMapContinents();

Arguments
none

Returns
continent_1, continent_2, ..., continent_N
continent_i
String - The name of the i'th continent, (i corresponds to the value GetCurrentMapContinent() returns)

Example
continentNames = {};

function LoadContinents(...)
   for i=1, arg.n, 1 do
      continentNames[i] = arg[i];
   end
end

LoadContinents(GetMapContinents());

Note that this can also be achieved with

continentNames = { GetMapContinents() } ;


Result
The array ContinentNames holds all available continent names:
ContinentNames[1] == "Kalimdor"
ContinentNames[2] == "Eastern Kingdoms"

Details
At release this will be only two: "Kalimdor" and "Eastern Kingdoms", but when using this function keep in mind, that there maybe more sometime after release, and that they may get added before the existing ones.
