[JASS] I am dazzled

[TimRJensen]

Question 1:
I can't find the function UnitDamagePointLoc in my blizzard.j or common.j Anybody got the same thing, or knows what is wrong?
Question 2:
I've made a block percentage damage function. But it's way to simple. What i would like to do is, when the damagetype is ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, do not block but reflect. But i can't seem to find a handle i can use in the common.j. Any other way out of this?

Points are GUI. in JASS they are called locations.

it is either called UnitDamageTargetLoc or UnitDamageLoc(i cant check right now, im at school)

Handle i can use? what do you mean

to reflect you would

-Register Damage

-Set Damage to 0

-Damage the Damage Source.

and ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL is an attacktype, not a damagetype.

The UnitDamagePointLoc is the formatted GUI function. Searching for UnirDamage will result in nothing as well. Anyways it doesn't really matter, i just find it odd that the function seems to not exits. It gotta be there somewhere though. The thing i would like with the reflection is:
if GetEventAttacktype() == ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL) then
call whatever
endif
So what im looking for is a function the returns attacktype. If that does not exits i goota make my own, so i need a handle which i can use in a function.

-youre right. In Common.j you will find UnitDamagePoint. UnitDamagePointLoc can be found in Blizzard.j

and im pretty sure the only solution for your attacktype thing is to check thru each units Id and if id = whatever return so-and-so attacktype.

you could also try the following:

if attacker is a melee attacker and not a hero then
reflect damage
endif

so you should just set the attacktype of all melee attackers to normal and you can fake the attacktype function.
you also could create one more condition like
attackers unitid is not (unit type)
if you want to make melee units without normal damage.

However, it would not be anywhere near as powerful.
