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).

Example[edit]

{{Infobox map | coordinates = [49028, 30881] }}

  • 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.
