[JASS] Need Explaination of a Jass Command

[Dynasti]

ok the command is this

UnitDamageTarget(unit wichUnit, widget target, real amount, boolean attack, boolean ranged, attacktype attackType, damagetype DamageType,weapontype Weapontype) returns boolean

I need help to fill inn:
-the Widget "Target"
-the "boolean attack"
-the "boolean ranged"
-the attacktype "attacktype"
-the damagetype "damagetype"
-the weapontype "WeaponType"

anyone got any ideas?

which unit, is the unit which deals the damage, target should be clear to you, real amount is the damage

ok boolean attack means: is it a melee attack, if it is so, put true
boolean range is the same for range, is it a range attack, if so put true
attacktype,damagetype,weapontype are constants.... for example for attacktype ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL....DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL.....WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS

thats it

A widget is a unit, item, or destructable (I think I'm not leaving anything out), in other words, things that can take damage. This function isn't exclusive to units, but certainly target them.

k so "WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS"???? someone really know? plz tell if someone know

 

[donut3.5]

Attack type is the only one that really has any influence from what I can tell, it dictates how the armor responds to the damage on the widget target (i.e. normal is most effective against medium armor, magic against heavy, pierce against light, etc.). The rest, as far as I know, have very limited or no effect.

Attack type has to do with armor type reductions. Damage type has to do with behaviour relative to Ethereal/Magic Immune/counting Armor. Weapon type is the attack sound (WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS is equivalent to null) - in the editor, some examples are Metal Light Slash and Wood Heavy Bash.

Boolean attack and boolean ranged... their use is rather unclear.

And donut, a widget is 'A dynamic game object with life', so yes, unit+item+destructable.
