Getting Damage Source

[Icyculyr]

Basically, I want to do this

local unit enemy = GetDamageSource()

what is the correct way of doing this

Thanks in advance.

local unit enemy = GetEventDamageSource()

Of course this only works under the condition that your event is EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED.

Yes I know,

Thank you.

For the record: You could always search in JassCraft (Or any other of the many programs) Just type "Damage" or "Source" or even "Get" And you should find what you are looking for.

Also you can always covert GUI, if you get a BJ go again to the softwares and find the native.

That's how I learn functions at least...

what are the BJ's even there for??

Function optimization and readability would be my guess.

In some cases this is the reason (UnitDamageTargetBJ, DistanceBetweenPoints etc.) But sometimes BJs call identical native, or at best, native with different order of parameters taken. I guess those are made for GUI stuff.
