Detecting armor type

Is there a method to retrieve the armor type of a unit? Like if a unit has, say lava armor, I want it to deal x amount of damage of damage type lava via triggers.

e.g.
If ("get armortype of u" == "lava_armor") then
"deal lava_damage"...etc etc

Just curious

No.

But Armor Types are static so they will never change. You COULD setup a table of Unit Types to Armor Types then lookup the table of the unit type id.

This is alot of work.

You know what would be awesome? A system that extracts the static unchangable information on unit types/abilities/etc and provides access to a table in Jass automatically. Hmm

Doesn't JassNewGen have this? WE Warlock had something similar, and JassNewGen pretty much has all the old features of WE Warlock + some more.

An easy way to do this (unless there's a system for it), is to make a dummy ability that won't show on the command card for each armor-type. Add the appropriate ability to each unit, then you can check for that.
