In the Gruul script:
Calls SelectTarget in order to get a target: https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothco...AI.cpp#L82 using SELECT_TARGET_TOPAGGRO mode for finding meaning it searches through the threat-table from top-down. "1" is which position (position 0 would be the tank I think) and 5.0f is the distance (so it only looks for players within 5 yards). This in turn calls the function you linked with some modified parameters. The SelectTarget function basically just pulls the the ThreatList from the ThreatManager, a list of units ordered by their current threat. For the SELECT_TARGET_TOPAGGRO case we begin iterating through the list, and do 1 "advance" which means we move 1 step into the list (skipping the first element basically) and then we return that unit.
This returns a unit, the person to cast Hurtful Strike on, or null if no unit can be found that satisfy these requirements. If null then it skips casting it.

yeah that link to UnitAI.cpp indeed clarifies how the arguments are passed on, thx!
looks like the bossscript needs a handler for "no one except mt in range" so the hurtful strikes cant be avoided.

Yeah, I would just add an else to that if, so if the unit returned is null the else runs and just casts hurtful strike on GetVictim()

(I think GetVictim() returns the current target of melee attacks, aka the top threat guy)

```C
case EVENT_HURTFUL_STRIKE:
if (Unit* target = SelectTarget(SELECT_TARGET_TOPAGGRO, 1, 5.0f))
me->CastSpell(target, SPELL_HURTFUL_STRIKE, false);
else if (Unit* target = GetVictim())
me->CastSpell(target, SPELL_HURTFUL_STRIKE, false);
events.ScheduleEvent(EVENT_HURTFUL_STRIKE, 15000);
break;
```
like this?
