[solved] attacker_weapon_index

[Celtic_Minstrel]

A for loop to get the index is probably best in any case, as it means you can loop over unit.attacks (using ipairs()) instead of wml.child_range(unit.__cfg, "attack").

This has always bugged me (attacks vs [attack]+), though I can't quite put a finger on it. It's just [attack] in [unit] or the gamestate_inspector, so if I didn't know any better, where would I come up with unit.attacks[x] ? I mean, it's kind of sort of maybe intuitive, at least in English, but it seems to me like something you'd hit upon by accident (or example) and then just "go with" because you've seen it before.

And then there's the use of "weapon" in places like attacker_hits, where it's really referring to the attack?

It looks like the official documentation for it is here:
