okay, maybe an easier one? I'm struggling with under what circumstances I should use each of the Unit hooks related to damage (and later healing). All of these seem relevant:
- OnDamage
- DealDamage
- ModifyPeriodicDamageAurasTick / ModifySpellDamageTaken / ModifyMeleeDamage
`DealDamage` I can't for the life of me get to trigger. I fight creatures, creatures fight each other, I duel another (test) player, and it still doesn't trigger.
`OnDamage` triggers as you'd expect, every time damage is dealt. It doesn't have any information about *what* caused the damage, only that it happened.
`Modify*` applies to just that one type of damage, but only the ModifySpellDamageTaken hook has spell information about what caused it.
Questions:
- what does `DealDamage` do?
- when should I use `OnDamage` vs `Modify*`?

~~None of these seem to trigger from environmental damage, by the way - lava and falling both do not generate events.~~
I was wrong, `OnDamage()` catches them.
