[Retail] Unit is boss

[Lumi666]

Hello !
I'm trying to find a way to know if a unit is a boss or not ( externally if possible, without lua function call ) in Wow retail.
I found the data related to creature classification

    
public enum WoWClassification
    {
        Normal = 0,
        Elite = 1,
        RareElite = 2,
        WorldBoss = 3,
        Rare = 4
    }

But in raid or dungeon bosses seems to be considered as "Elite" only.
Any idea of how to get this information ?

Can only speak of Classic, this used to work for me on raid bosses. Haven't checked in a while, but you'll find the offset around that area if it has changed.
Pointer = 0x500
GatherType = 0xe8

public bool IsBoss
{
    get
    {
        try
        {
            int ret = (Memory.Read<int>(Memory.Read<IntPtr>(BaseAddress +  Fields.Unit.DBCacheRow.Pointer) + Fields.Unit.DBCacheRow.GatherType) >> 2) & 1;
            return (ret == 1);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Logging.WriteError(e);
            return false;
        }
    }
}

I know you said in specifics without a lua function, if possible, but for anyone else I believe the appropriate lua function to do this would be UnitClassification

class UnitInfo {
public:
	FIELD(uint32_t, GetType, 0x30);
	FIELD(uint32_t, GetFamily, 0x34);
	FIELD(uint32_t, GetUnitRank, 0x38);
	FIELD_OBJ(char*, GetName, 0xF8);
	FIELD(uint32_t, GetGatherType, 0xE8);
};

enum UnitRank
{
	Normal = 0,
	Elite = 1,
	RareElite = 2,
	Boss = 3,
	Rare = 4
};

		if (entity->GetType() == TypeId::CGPlayer || entity->GetType() == TypeId::CGActivePlayer) {

					if (entity->GetUnitInfo()->GetUnitRank() == UnitRank::Normal) {
						RenderTextWithDynamicSize("Normal", ImVec2(OPPos.x, OPPos.y - 50.f), GameUtils::GetClassColor(entity), distance);
					}
					else if (entity->GetUnitInfo()->GetUnitRank() == UnitRank::Elite) {
						RenderTextWithDynamicSize("Elite", ImVec2(OPPos.x, OPPos.y - 50.f), GameUtils::GetClassColor(entity), distance);
					}
					else if (entity->GetUnitInfo()->GetUnitRank() == UnitRank::Boss) {
						RenderTextWithDynamicSize("Boss", ImVec2(OPPos.x, OPPos.y - 50.f), GameUtils::GetClassColor(entity), distance);
					}

GatherType is perfect ! Thanks !

"GatherType" is a bitfield flag, some known values is as:

    [Flags]
    public enum WoWCreatureTypeFlags : uint
    {
        Tameable             = 0x1,
        GhostVisible         = 0x2,
        Boss                 = 0x4,
        HerbSkin             = 0x100,
        MineSkin             = 0x200,
        MountedCombatAllowed = 0x800,
        Salvageable          = 0x8000,
        Exotic               = 0x10000,
        QuestBoss            = 0x80000000
    }
