Editing WoW:UnitFlag (section)

==Explanation==
A unit can only be one type from each of the following four categories: 
# Type 
# Controller
# Reaction 
# Controller affiliation

Here’s a quick explanation of how these flags are broken down: 

===Type===
This is the way the unit is ''currently'' being controlled:
*Units directly controlled by humans are players.
*Units controlled by the server are NPCs.
*Pets are units controlled by a player or NPC.
*Guardians are automatons that are not controlled, but automatically defend their master.
*Objects are everything else, such as Traps. 

The result is that these bits can tell you what kind of unit that combat log object was. 

===Controller===
This is who currently controls this object. It can only be controlled by a physical human player or by a server NPC.

===Reaction===
This is the unit’s faction reaction, relative to you. Anything that hates you is Hostile, anything that is friendly with you is Friendly, everything else is Neutral. 

===Controller affiliation===
A unit’s controller affiliation is the unit’s controller relationship relative to YOU. Either it is controlled by you, your party, your raid or someone else.

===Example===
*A player who is dueling you is '''0x0548''' (A hostile player controlled by an outsider physical human being) 
*A player who was mind controlled by another player that attacks you is '''0x1148''' (A hostile pet who is controlled by an outsider player)
**Since '''0x1148''' can also be an enemy player's pet you need to check the [[API UnitGUID| unit GUID]] to know if it's an enemy pet or a player character.
*A player who was charmed by a NPC is '''0x1248''' (A hostile pet controlled by an outsider NPC)
