[Solved] Capturing a neutral building

I've been using this script for some time but it's not very reliable. Mechanical units don't always trigger it and wards do. It also captures and then an instant later uncaptures sometimes.

The mechanical bug:
The siege engine has larger collision size than the paladin. So it needs longer tolerance than 32 distance units.

The ward bug:
You could add some condition to the trigger, like unit classification, unit is not a summmoned unit.

The capture bug:
The enter the range of tower trigger uses x + y range. The periodic trigger uses x range. Therefore it might not detect the unit that entered the range.

Put the triggers in hidden tags.
