UnitDamageTarget; is it instant?

Hey dudes!
I'm having an issue right now with a spell I'm making.
You see, I want to damage a unit, and then check if it's dead (to do some more actions).
However, it doesn't quite seem to work properly (it doesn't seem like it's dead), so I was wondering if UnitDamageTarget instantly changes <target's> value, or if it's got some kind of 'pause' in between.

I could solve it by just checking if target's life - <damage> is less than 0.405, but I still wanted to check here about this native (I might aswell be doing something wrong with the 'then' code)

Thanks on behalf.

(Sum: Does UnitDamageTarget() change the target's hit points instantly or not?)

... and I'm confused as to why don't you test it?

Anyway, yes, damage is dealt instantaneously.

Well, my if/then/else statment is very complicated (for me) so it would be somewhat hard (and I usually come to the oposite conclusion anyway)

Then why not make a separate test map and test the issue on its own?

Note that your thread will be interrupted by any events on damage.

yes there is pause, you can heal unit by damage event soo it wont die.

DioD, given my post above you, that doesn't necessarily follow. In fact, the exact opposite is likely to follow from the conjuction of our posts - that there is no pause, and it is instant.

Yes it instant BUT can be interrupted (also all shield systems currently available uses 5 yeas old way of damage prevention with additional useless work)

sorry for map with additional content, just run, focus on peon, press esc, trigger deal 500 damage and prevent it.
