DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage('Target is ' .. genderTable[UnitSex("target")] .. '.');
Result
Target is female.
Details
- UnitSex("target") will return 1 (neuter/unknown) on "sheeped" mobs, no matter their "true" gender. (Needs reverification after 1.11). UnitSex("player") does not return 1 on "penguinification".
- Prior to v1.11, the codes were 0=male, 1=female, 2=unknown.
Notes
- If "unit" doesn't exist (e.g. UnitSex("target") when you have no target), UnitSex() will return 0.
Previously, it would return 2. (As seen on Talk:World of Warcraft API)
