[JASS] IssueTargetOrder .... returns boolean?

[Bribe]

native IssueTargetOrder takes unit whichUnit, string order, widget targetWidget returns boolean

Uh... does anyone care to explain why/how we are returning a boolean here?

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

if the target is valid it will return true
(this way you can check if a destructable is a tree
just issue a ghoul with harvest ability to attack a destructable and it will return true if he can)

That's interesting... but how about this:??

native IssueImmediateOrder takes unit whichUnit, string order returns boolean

Does that check to see if I issued the unit a valid command? Could be a quick way to tell a unit from a building or such.

Its the same as with the point order, it returns true when the unit casts the spell and false when it doesn't.

For example it returns false, when the unit does not have the ability, has not enough mana, is stunned, silenced, paused etc.
