Building classification

[MStylo]

Is it possible to have buildings display their classification just like units have? (Undead, Giant, Mechanical, Tauren)

what do you mean to display them? display them where?

Units with classifications have them displayed under their unit name when you select them in game, for example the Tauren has a smaller Tauren underneath their name.

As for applying it to buildings I don't know if that's possible since it's probably hard-coded maybe but it's not something I've ever tried.

for most purposes you can use a non-building unit as a building and fix it up to behave as you would like. this could work for a specific application... for anything map-wide this is likely to be more of a hassle than it's worth...

From what's I've tried it does seem to be hard-coded with no easy way around it.

It will have to come down for me replace the building as soon as it's built with unit and then place a pathing blocker under so you can't build there again. And on top of that the unit needs to be made immobile. Yep hassle.
Thanks for responses.

pretty sure you shouldn't need a pathing blocker. you can't build on top of units (unless they have no collision for some reason).

Yes but when you are hovering over space you can build on, it's either red or green. If it's just unit standing there game recognizes it as buildable since it thinks regular units can move out.
