native SetPlayerState takes player whichPlayer, playerstate whichPlayerState, integer value returns nothing

What does 'integer value' mean in this native?

 

[Flare]

The amount you want to set the player's gold or lumber (I think) to.

 

[Uberplayer]

The value of the player state?

 

[AdamGriffith]

This has nothing to do with gold or lumber?

EDIT:
Sorry,
I mean when using it with bountys.

 call SetPlayerState(Player(0), PLAYER_STATE_GIVES_BOUNTY, IntegerTertiaryOp(true, 1, 0))

Whats the IntegerTertiaryOp thing all about?

function IntegerTertiaryOp takes boolean flag, integer valueA, integer valueB returns integer
    if flag then
        return valueA
    else
        return valueB
    endif
endfunction

function AdjustPlayerStateSimpleBJ takes player whichPlayer, playerstate whichPlayerState, integer delta returns nothing
    call SetPlayerState(whichPlayer, whichPlayerState, GetPlayerState(whichPlayer, whichPlayerState) + delta)
endfunction

function AdjustPlayerStateBJ takes integer delta, player whichPlayer, playerstate whichPlayerState returns nothing
    // If the change was positive, apply the difference to the player's
    // gathered resources property as well.
    if (delta > 0) then
        if (whichPlayerState == PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD) then
            call AdjustPlayerStateSimpleBJ(whichPlayer, PLAYER_STATE_GOLD_GATHERED, delta)
        elseif (whichPlayerState == PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_LUMBER) then
            call AdjustPlayerStateSimpleBJ(whichPlayer, PLAYER_STATE_LUMBER_GATHERED, delta)
        endif
    endif

    call AdjustPlayerStateSimpleBJ(whichPlayer, whichPlayerState, delta)
endfunction

BJ's have their uses ^_^ Not really sure what it does in relation to other player states like PLAYER_STATE_OBSERVER and that
Kinda weird that the If-Then-Else with PLAYER_STATE_GOLD/LUMBER is even there, couldn't they have just called AdjustPlayerStateSimpleBJ and be done with it?

Seems to be the equivalent of IMax/MinBJ, all rolled into a single function, using the boolean to determine whether you're looking for max or min

Then it wouldn't update the total gathered amount, which is kinda the point of that function.

No, it has nothing to do with min or max values of two integers. It lets you shrink code like this:

if myboolean then
    call MyFunction(2)
else
    call MyFunction(3)
endif

to this:

call MyFunction(IntegerTertiaryOp(myboolean, 2, 3))

Useful if it wasn't for the slowness of jass that made most jassers more inclined to create pages of (slightly faster) code instead of a few lines of compact code.

But if I wanted to remove that TertiaryBj thing what number what I have to put into the original native? 1 or 0?
