UnitDamageTarget question

[WereElf]

native UnitDamageTarget takes unit whichUnit, widget target, real amount, boolean attack, boolean ranged, attacktype attackType, damageType, weapontype weaponType returns boolean
What are the arguments "attack" and "ranged" for?
I, like Blizzard, always put "true" in the 1-st one and "false" in the 2-nd, but what will actually happen if I put "true" in "ranged", or "false" in "attack"?

I think it will considered that damage comes from ranged or melee maybe? I've always use false in both of them and there's no problem so far.

I believe they have to do with AI. Units might react differently if they are attacked by a melee or ranged attack.

Ranged/Melee affects the behaviour from Basic Reactive-Abilites, Like Harden Skin, Thorn-Aura etc.
This will trigger Thorn-Aura cause of beeing Melee

call  UnitDamageTarget(udg_Dealer, udg_Target, 100, true, false, ATTACK_TYPE_HERO,DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL, null)

Units don't react to damage not flagged as attacks. They won't move even if they have no orders or current targets and the source of the damage is nearby them.
