Filter vs Condition

[Expelliarmus]

This isn't really an important question... but

- What is the main difference between Filter() and Condition()?
- Do they do the same thing?
- Where do they usually appear in?
- How can you tell which to use at different times

Thanks

As far as I know, there is no difference other than the name.

Maybe some times it makes more sense in your code to use one over the other because of the naming.

Oh. Thanks.

for me, it only makes sense to use filters in functions that ask for a boolexpr

like... GroupEnumUnitsInRange

Well, Filter() returns a filterfunc (native filterfunc extends boolexpr) and Condition() returns a conditionfunc (native conditionfunc extends boolexpr). So as you can see, both extend boolexpr, and thus are valid as boolexpr. No function actually takes a specific filterfunc or conditionfunc, they all take boolexpr.

I use filter because it's faster to type and shorter

Otherwise there is no difference at all.
