How do I add a "Unit Type" condition to a Jass function?

[Matarael]

function DeathAnnounce_DeathCondition takes nothing returns boolean
    return IsUnitType(GetDyingUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_HERO) == true
endfunction

So in that bit I successfully added the condition that the dying unit CLASS is a Hero, but how would I add a condition for, let's say, if the unit is a Footman? Or if the unit is NOT a Rifleman?

Thanks.

GetUnitTypeId(unit) == 'hfoo'

The above term "UnitType" is often mistaken/ambiguous. The jass type "unittype", which is used in function "IsUnitType", is more like a flagging as you have seen, a unit can be assigned multiple.

That's why in own naming convention, I prefer to call one UnitType and the other UnitClass.

To get the UnitTypeIds (example 'hfoo' for footman) head to unit editor in Object Editor and do Ctrl + D. Rawdata gonna replace everything. Look on unit tree (place to the left, on unit editor window, where all units are listed), unit names will be replaced with thier typeids. Now you can put those into your function.

UnitType - is more a unit classification actually. This actually check for example is unit has classification mechanic, or if it's a building or a hero etc etc.
