[JASS] AddLightning question

[Saishy]

Well, I'm trying to connect two units with a line, so I found this function using the search:

native AddLightningEx takes string codeName, boolean checkVisibility, real x1, real y1, real z1, real x2, real y2, real z2 returns lightning

But, what is that string codeName? What do I put there?
Edit: Also what native boolean checkVisibility does?

 

[redscores]

checkVisibility makes the lightning invisible if false, and the codename is the name of the lightning.

I imagine CheckVisibility has to do with fog of war.

As for the lightning names, there are two ways to get them.

Way 1 (good for custom lightnings): check the SLK table which defines lightnings (it's called something like LightningData.slk).

Way 2: Select the lighting effect in the "Lightning effect" field of an ability, then press Ctrl+D (View as Raw Data) and it will show the lightning name-string, which is four characters long.

Thanks both!
