Notes

I'm not entirely sure what the actual levels of friendliness and hostility translate to. I'm 5 to myself!

I assume the levels are Faction-related (1 Hated, 2 Hostile, 3 Unfriendly, 4 Neutral, 5 Friendly, 6 Honored, 7 Revered, Exalted (still 7?)) --Shane3012 02:42, 25 Oct 2005 (EDT)

I tested this on an npc that is part of a faction where I am exalted, but I only got 5 returned. The only values I've seen so far are 2 (for all red mobs), 4 (netural mobs) and 5 (friendly NPCs and members of my faction (including wildhammer NPCs as of 2.0.3 who are alliace tagged but neutral)). --SunziWu 05:29, 12 Jan 2006 (CET)

This doesn't change when a mob becomes aggressive towards a player. I had to use the negative result of API UnitIsFriend. --Shane3012 02:42, 25 Oct 2005 (EDT)

Does not work across continents (or zones?)! If you query UnitReaction for a raid (or party)-member across continents, it won't return the correct value (I guess it returns nil, but I have yet to confirm that). I think it only returns correct values for units that are in 'inspect-range'.

In Blizzard Code, UnitReaction is only used between the player and a Non Player Controlled target. --Xtrochu 11:17, 3 Nov 2005 (EST)
