Buriza	i was making a trigger using unit- deal damage and after making it deal chaos damage it had another option to have it deal fire, cold, force and others. what do these damage types do? when i tested it they didnt have any special effects or buffs, just damage. if anyone can fill me in on this id appreciate it. hope i posted in the right place. thanks

Anitarf	As far as I know the damage types have no gameplay effect whatsoever.

I'd rather suggest you to use variables for this, but unfortunally, blizzard screwed the
types disallowing us to make damage or attack type variables. So there are the instructions
for them in JASS, first thing is the thing you have to insert and second thing is the description

Attack types: (how they act depends on armor)

ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL Spell
ATTACK_TYPE_MELEE Melee
ATTACK_TYPE_PIERCE Pierce
ATTACK_TYPE_SIEGE Siege
ATTACK_TYPE_MAGIC Magic
ATTACK_TYPE_CHAOS Chaos
ATTACK_TYPE_HERO Hero

I think that the attack type commonly used by spells is chaos, otherwise it is Magic-
