At first im really new to lua.

but shouldnt UnitInRaid (UnitInParty) return the index of the raid/party member? if i type

/run SendChatMessage(UnitInRaid("target"))

into a macro

it always returns 1

referring to http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/API_UnitInRaid it should return the raidindex

in retail it returns the raid index. you have to open the history tab to see what it does in 1.12.1.

Okay,

good point.

in http://vanilla-wow.wikia.com/wiki/API_UnitInRaid it tells me the same i think. just in other words:

Returns

index 

Layout position for raid members: integer ascending from 0 (which is the first member of the first group).

no that's still not the correct one. you can look at past revisions of pages in wowwiki. it is available in the drop down menu next to the yellow edit button.

Here is the correct one: http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/API_UnitInRaid?oldid=60930

Returns 1 if the unit is in your raid group, nil otherwise.

Pets are not considered to be part of a raid group.

vanilla-wow wiki has reliable api list (http://vanilla-wow.wikia.com/wiki/World_of_Warcraft_API), but details page are not reliable.

for instance, brief of UnitInRaid in the main api page is correct.
