 === Description ===
-Sets the target of a missile. FIXME May or may not work on missiles generated by built-in units.
+Sets the target of a missile. FIXME May or may not work on missiles generated by built-in units. Note that in order for a PRPL-generated missile to do damage, ''%%SetUnitHealth(<-UID 1.0)%%'' (or an equivalent) //must// be called, else the missile will do no damage. The amount of health dictates the amount of damage dealt.
-Target is a PID, which can be virtual. Enemy seems to be whether the missile is enemy.
+Target is a PID, which can be virtual.
 === Examples ===
 <code>
-"Missile" CurrentCoords CreateUnit <-Target 0 InitMissile
+# Fire a missile at the nearest enemy particle within 40 map tiles
+GetNearestTarget(GetMouseCell 40 1 0 0 1 0) ->Target
+"Missile" CurrentCoords CreateUnit ->UID
+<-UID 1.0 SetUnitHealth
+<-UID <-Target 1 InitMissile
