Ah yes I've actually read that post, the issue is that although it can make a unit immune to physical attacks, computers will still attempt to attack it. I am making a map that is player vs comp campaign, thus computer controlled units would simply attack the physically immune unit to no avail. I am trying to make a physically immune unit that the computer player recognizes as immune. More to the point, what i really want is to have computer controlled melee units to ignore said unitwhat parts of ethereal do you need? only taking damage from non physical types of attacks?
if so, here is another way to achieve that:
How let Ethereal Units attack?
Hi, I'd like to know how to allow ethereal units to attack please, it seems that having the ethereal ability disables all attack, is there a way around this? EDIT: I need my Troops to be able to attack as normal but only target-able by magic attacks like ethereal units are.
(the solution is at the bottom of the thread)
If this was your ONLY goal, maybe you could spawn said unit with Mechanical Critter. It is a special ability with a special hacky nature in the sense that the units it summons are shown as "neutral/passive" to all players, even enemies, although those units are controllable for the player who cast the ability.
I want the unit to be able to be damaged and attacked if nothing else is there to attack, but to be lowest priority, especially for normal/melee attacks. Basically I want a unit that is low priority. Ethereal does this for all but magic and spells, which works well enough. Fundamentally what I want is for the computer to attack units that are weak against it
I think there is a Priority setting in the unit editor. It has been a long time since I tested, but isnt it for this exact case?
Doesn’t seem to do anything except decide the order that units appear in the command card when multiple are selected
