UnitHasBuffsEx

JASS:

native UnitHasBuffsEx takes unit whichUnit, boolean removePositive, boolean removeNegative, boolean magic, boolean physical, boolean timedLife, boolean aura, boolean autoDispel returns boolean

Alright, does anyone know if this native does what i suppose it does (returning true if the specified unit has a buff matching certain criteria)?

My tests so far have shown nothing (it always returns false).

DioD	this is gui function as i know, read comment... and better tell us what you want to do, not how you want to do it.

Deaod	UnitHasBuffsEx is not integrated into GUI as far as i can see. However, UnitCountBuffsEx is. If theres any consistency in Blizzards natives, UnitHasBuffsEx doesnt work (using the same parameters on it as if i was counting buffs using UnitCountBuffsEx). What i want to do: Detect if a unit is under the effect of ANY debuff (excluding expiration timers).

DioD	you can count debufs, play with UnitCountBuffsEx non zero return mean there is debuff (for units with summoned classification deduct 1 from result, there is only one exp timer per unit possible)

Deaod	bad news, UnitCountBuffsEx doesnt work as well. Can anyone confirm this, or is it just me being dumb?

DioD	there is advent of zenith map, it is not open source but, anyway check its code, since it contain some spells with damage per buff effects.

Rising_Dusk	I manually control all buffs in the map, so I can detect if units suffer them at will through the system. I do not use any native or something special.

DioD, im fully aware of that GUI function.

However, when i was testing the native with the debuff from 'Aslo' (Slow, human unit ability), it always returned "0", regardless of whether the buff was on the unit or not. I also set every boolean parameter of the function to true, but that didnt help as well. I concluded the native must be broken.

If you managed to get it working, please provide a test map, so i can figure out what im doing wrong.

Deaod	alright, thanks for not giving up on me. I tracked the error down and eliminated it. You might want to remove the map.
