Help - how do I find the "units matching condition" function?

The title says it all.

What? Don't call me a noob - it's not like the editor makes it easy to find things like this.

It's not a "function". It's a condition (it's even in the name of "units matching condition"), and, as such, in any Action that has a condition part attached to it (given the action pertains to a unit!) it'll be there. It's also an option under just the plain old "Conditions" part of the Trigger.

Now, if you want to do something like: IF "Units match condition", "picked unit matches condition", etc, you want to choose the "if", "if/then/else" or "if/then/else (multiple functions)" from the drop-down menu.

If you meant something else, I'm terribly sorry. =P

Solution: switch to Jass, and you will never have to search the endless plethora of dropdown menus every again.

@ Sabertooth: What I meant was can I find it under, say, Boolean or Integer Conditions? Or something else all together?

@ Bribe: But JASS is so scary... D:

I used to think that, too, and then I learned how much easier and more creative it is to work with it and now it's actually GUI that intimidates me, all those nasty colours and dialogs that you have to figure out and work around :O

I actually know more about JASS than I do GUI, and that's an understatement, even though I've only been working with JASS for three months as opposed to 5-6 months with the GUI.

Unit Matching Condition can be found in, Real, Unit, Unit-type, Integer, Boolean comparisons.

For the Integer and Real comparisons is the comparison of numbers relating to a unit, for example, facing angle, custom value, bla...bla... and so on and so forth. In the Unit and Unit-type comparisons, it detects or checks who is the unit that triggers an event. Mostly are used are "Triggering unit", "Casting Unit" and more, the only difference of Unit and Unit-type is that Unit-type is broader than Unit. For the Boolean comparison which is the most important, it checks a status of a Unit like if it is Alive, Dead, has a specifice buff, if it is a hero, structure, etc.

Hope you understand!
