ATTACK_TYPE and DAMAGE_TYPE

Hello,

Somebody can explain me whats the diference beetween each of

ATTACT_TYPE_MAGIC and ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL

and DAMAGE_TYPE, and is effects in the game?

So what's the diference beetween:

DAMAGE_TYPE_ACID
DAMAGE_TYPE_COLD
DAMAGE_TYPE_DEATH
DAMAGE_TYPE_DEFENSIVE
DAMAGE_TYPE_DEMOLITION
DAMAGE_TYPE_DISEASE
DAMAGE_TYPE_DIVINE
DAMAGE_TYPE_ENHANCED
DAMAGE_TYPE_FIRE
DAMAGE_TYPE_FORCE
DAMAGE_TYPE_LIGHTNING
DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGIC
DAMAGE_TYPE_MIND
DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL
DAMAGE_TYPE_PLANT
DAMAGE_TYPE_POISON
DAMAGE_TYPE_SHADOW_STRIKE
DAMAGE_TYPE_SLOW_POISON
DAMAGE_TYPE_SONIC
DAMAGE_TYPE_SPIRIT_LINK
DAMAGE_TYPE_UNIVERSAL
DAMAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN

thanks in advance

Most weren't implemented (do the same as unknown?). Universal is used by ultimates, unknown ignores everything, magic is normal spells (non-healing), and normal is for attacks. I think so, anyway.

Attack type is like piercing, siege, etc.

But i saw some spells with ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL and i'm make my spells with ATTACK_TYPE_MAGIC, so what's the diference? Because i'm see some warcraft spells damage the number that the spell says, and some spell created by me damage but involving the damage reduction for the armor, this is ok?

The difference is that the damage can react with the armor type of the units, so some units are more or less vulnearables to some attack types.

In order see how it works, check this page:

Mmmm but in this link i see two types of attack types:

Spells and Magic, what's the difference and what's is in JASS?

Spell damage is when a unit has a spell which deals damage, the damage type could be classified in this section, some special damage for special abilities or spells are damage by acid (Acid bomb), Cold (frostwyms with the upgrade), etc. Unfortunately I don't know if there is a chart like this for those type of damage to get the armor reduction.

Magic attack is a normal type of damage, it is used by spell casters and some special units (Gyphon rider for instance)

I can tell you that some damage types are magical, some phisical, universal is universal and unknown is imbalanced . I think that fire,cold,lightning are all magical. I had an exact list I think it is in the caster system's readme in the damage options section

Thanks!
