unit.IsUnitState("GuardBusy") or unit.IsUnitState("Patrolling")

right?

allUnits = GetAllUnits()
allUnits = GetSelectedUnits()

for _,unit in allUnits do
local id = unit:GetEntityId()
local bp = unit:GetBlueprint().BlueprintId
if isInTable(Filters[group],bp) and not (unit.IsUnitState("GuardBusy") or unit.IsUnitState("Patrolling"))  then

On UI side you'd need this.

@broker I've no experience with UI mods so this might not work, but for a SIM mod the following should work:

if not(unit:IsUnitState('Guarding') or unit:IsUnitState('Patrolling')) then

@maudlin27 i tired this but i receive

what this attempt to call method `IsUnitState' (a nil value)

may be need some kind import?

work
GetGuardedEntity

but
I saw the use of these functions in the files. but they didn't work for me. maybe you know why?
IsUnitState
GetGuardedUnit

[maudlin27]

@broker I've never had any issues with unit:IsUnitState('xxx'), have you used logs to confirm that what you're using it on is a unit? for example, if you do LOG('unit='..(unit.UnitId or 'nil')) what shows up in the log - is it the expected unit ID/blueprint reference, or a nil value?

@maudlin27 in discord they wrote that these are functions for the game and they are not available in UI mods.

told to use this
unit:GetGuardedEntity()
