Template:Infobox map
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
This template is a wrapper for Widget:Infobox map, used in infoboxes to provide the GW2 map API with a marker indicating the NPC position.
Usage[edit]
{{Infobox map
| coordinates =
| path =
| bounds =
}}
Parameters[edit]
- coordinates
- [X,Y] coordinate pair. Integers between 0 and 32000. Wrap each value pair in brackets. Separate these multiple points with commas and wrap in an additional set of brackets if multiple different locations are possible. If a 3rd value in the first array is given, it will be interpreted as a floor. If a fourth value in the first array is given, it will be interpreted as a continent.
- path
- Requires multiple pairs of coordinates. Plots a green flag at the start, white dots between and a red flag at the end.
- bounds
- Multiple [X,Y] coordinate pairs to form a polygon on the map.
- type
- Optional. Used by non-npc infoboxes.
- localtiles
- Optional. If set, will use wiki tiles instead of the API. Only useful if the tiles exist in Category:Map raster tiles.
- requires
- Optional. If set to LWS4, LWS5 or any of the story releases part of those seasons, localtiles will be used.
- icon
- Optional. If set, for example "File:Merchant (map icon).png", changes the default icon from "File:Widget map dot.png" (this default is set at widget level).
- waypoint id
- Optional. By default the map displays the nearest waypoint on the same floor by distance, this may be in the wrong zone. Specifying an id here will forcibly show the specified waypoint (note this may require the map to be zoomed out to locate it). The id can be obtained via Widget:Map table.
Example[edit]
{{Infobox map | coordinates = [49028, 30881] }}
Interactive map
Used in[edit]
- Template:Adventure infobox
- Template:Location infobox
- Template:Event infobox
- Template:Heart infobox (also uses bounds)
- Template:NPC infobox
- Template:Object infobox
A quick guide to capturing coordinates[edit]
- Primary article: Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Projects/NPC Coordinates/Guide
- If it's an event, use Widget:Event table.
- If it's a point of interest, or a heart NPC, use Widget:Map table.
- For all other cases:
- GW2Timer.com - clicking on any point generates the coordinates in the box in the bottom left corner.
- GW2Navi ingame overlay - same as the above external website but uses your ingame data to determine your location.
