Blight owner

[M0RT]

My question regards this function:

SetBlightRect (player whichPlayer, rect r, boolean addBlight)

(in GUI - "Enviroment - Create/Remove Blight Region")

Why is there a player argument? Does it change anything? Or does the blight have an "owner"? From my experiece, it doesn't change anything, regardless which player I input, so why is that argument even there?

Perhaps you have noticed that blight can be dispelled? I think that the player argument refers to the owner of the blighted ground so it is appropriately (un)affected by dispels.

Maybe I'll sound like noob, but dispelled how? With the priest dispel? I really haven't noticed that, maybe I just never used dispels
Anyway, thanks

Dispel (priest, doom guard) can for sure. Not sure about wisps and disenchant but they should also. Buildings can also dispel blight (with the ability Blight Dispel).

i'm not sure but some human buildings have a ability named "Blight Dispell" or something like that, i guess it dispells blight when built near blight

Yes, they have a specific ability, that has a specific range, I knew about that, I used these abilities to manipulate blight before. I just didn't figure that "blight dispel" was actually a dispel.
