Alloved targets

Do we have a tutorial on this? (tried but didn't find one)

It is obvious what fields do in 90% of cases, but when it comes to rare 10% I have to experiment and guess and I don't like that.

There are questions here like:
* What is the difference between allied and friend?
* What are Bridge, Debris, Decoration and Terrain used for?
* Suicidal ..?
* What if I select Hero and Non-Hero at the same time?

I would also like to know how are this values represented inside jass,
what are the opcodes and how it all works...

There is a lot of tutorial material here.....

I think Friend = Allied + Player Units.
These are units with kaboom ability - it tells them tnat they should explode while attacking. For mappers can be useful as unit tag - you can rename it to whatever you want.


Not all of them are available in jass. Fo example Suicidal is not, but Ancient is availiable as UNIT_TYPE_ANCIENT for IsUnitType method.

  Allied is the unit that belongs to the same team.
  Friend, as far as I remember, is the unit of a different team who's allied with your team.

  * What are Bridge, Debris, Decoration and Terrain used for?

  Doodads, so the ability or unit can target doodads
• Quote:

  * Suicidal ..?

  Units with this state, like worker, tauren, undead, etc.

  * What if I select Hero and Non-Hero at the same time?

  If you select Hero and non-hero at the same time, it means that it can target a hero and a non hero unit.

As a side note, some abilities have the target type harcoded, that means that you can change the values but ingame they don't work. How to know that, with practice :P

As a empiric rule, abilities with dual effect like death coil, purge, abolish magic, etc., fail by changing these settings.

But i like the ideas of a tutorial :)
There are some cases that i don't understand.

Exactly, a tutorial would be needed here.

2 x rep from me for a good one.

Someone know what put in allowed target for clusterrockets to damage enemy units and buildings, tree & destructibles ?
I tried many combinations with no results.
