-Returns list of units in range of a given position. The returned list is sorted so that the first item in the list is the closest.\\ Note: The only difference between this API and [[GetUnitsInRange]] is this API takes a 'unitType' parameter.  By specifying a unitType, less units are searched over resulting in potentially higher performance. \\ +Returns list of units in range of a given position.

 +:!: **Note:** The difference between this API and [[GetUnitsInRange]] is this API takes a 'unitType' parameter.  By specifying a unitType, less units are searched over resulting in potentially higher performance. Furthermore, GetUnits can search for any units regardless of whether they occupy space, so units that are in flight can be found this way as well. \\  
 +GetUnits takes a unit type and from that it will internally find all units of that type.  It then enumerates those units and checks if they are in range and if they match the state filters. So GetUnits can be used to find any unit (air, map, or neither). This method can be more performant than GetUnitsInRange if the unit being searched is not found in large quantities on the map. 
 + 
 +:!: __**Note: 2D square search is currently broken and will find all units as long as they are close enough on X-axis, disregarding the Z-axis. Do not use this combination of parameters.**__ 
 + 
 +For short range searches refer to the [[cw4:4rpl_unit_search_analysis|unit search analysis]] to see how the different parameters interact with finding units in a short range.

If empty string (""), then all units are searched.\\   * **unitType:** a string indicating the [[unit types|unit type]]((Unit Type can also be the UID of a CMOD)) to return.
