Is there a condition to check if the unit's attack is ranged or melee?

[streetpunk]

Is there a condition to check if the unit's attack is ranged or melee? I needed to check it on a condition. All help is appreciated!

 

[DracoL1ch]

IsUnitType(u,UNIT_TYPE_MELEE_ATTACKER)
true if melee, false if ranged
do not use RANGED_ATTACKER, fyi

Are these functions normal JASS? and how can I implement it ?

It's normal jass. Do you mean implement in GUI?

• TestIfMelee
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if(IsUnitType(udg_TestUnit,UNIT_TYPE_MELEE_ATTACKER)) then
    • -------- do your code here --------
    • Custom script: endif

TestUnit is the variable of the unit you are checking.

If I need to check if the unit is ranged I just have to put a "else" in custom script before the "endif" ?

 

[Jampion]

yes or you put a not between if and IsUniTyt... : "if( not IsUnitTy..." if you don't want to have a else block.

    • ((Triggering unit) is A ranged attacker) Equal to True

*facepalm* thought it was some hardcoded thing that could only be obtained throught JASS or any advanced coding lol
