[Solved] DamageTarget's nulls

[DracoL1ch]

call UnitDamageTarget( source, target, damage, true, true, null, null, null)

This causes unit to receive the damage whatever it takes, through any defense. Basically it's direct HP removal, but it does get registered as damage, following it's rules about amplifiers and such.
Did anyone used this? Any backsides on this method comparing to DHR?

 

[Almia]

May I ask what's DHR?

btw, nice find here.

 

[Flux]

DHR= Direct HP Removal

following it's rules about amplifiers and such.

If it follows amplifiers, what differentiate this from Pure damage then? Also how will this method interact with Ethereal units?

 

[Aniki]

call UnitDamageTarget( source, target, damage, true, true, null, null, null)

constant attacktype ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL = ConvertAttackType(0)
constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN = ConvertDamageType(0)

// Jass's null probably== C++'s 0(zero), so

// the above is probably equivalent to:
call UnitDamageTarget( source, target, damage, true, true, ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN, null)

Spell damage (aka ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL in Jass) (spell damage is what "normal" spells do, I guess...), is reduced by armor type hero/divine and runed bracers.
It gets amplified by the ethereal-ness of the target unit, i.e storm bolt lvl3 (375 damage) + banish = dead fiend (fiend-hp = 550) =)

 

[Almia]

we shall make a comparison test then

 

[Wietlol]

Even then... what is the use of it?

 

[DracoL1ch]

call UnitDamageTarget( source, target, damage, true, true, null, null, null)

constant attacktype ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL = ConvertAttackType(0)

yep, you're right. I had wrong information. This type doesn't penetrate invul either.
