Parameters

• chip: The chip to use.
• entity: The target entity, your own entity by default.

Return

• result: A value strictly greater than 0 if the attack was launched. The return values of useChip are:
• USE_CRITICAL, on a critical hit
• USE_SUCCESS, on success
• USE_FAILED, if the chip is a summon and your entity can no longer summon (sterile state)
• USE_INVALID_TARGET, if the target does not exist
• USE_NOT_ENOUGH_TP, if your entity does not have enough TP
• USE_INVALID_COOLDOWN, if the chip cannot be used yet
• USE_INVALID_POSITION, if the range is wrong or the line of sight is not clear
• USE_MAX_USES, if the chip has already been used too many times this turn

Since USE_SUCCESS and USE_CRITICAL are 1 and 2 respectively, and the other values are 0 or negative, you can tell whether the chip was used successfully with this test:
