It seems the video shutters due to the new recording tool I'm using. I guess I'll be using my old tool again.

Force Shield v1.0
Force Shield
(Force Shield Ready)
IMPORT GUIDE :
1. Import TimedSpellEffect to your map (you can use the one from the test map, but I recommend grabbing the one I linked)
2. Import the Force Shield ability from Ability Editor (Object Editor) to your map
3. Import the Force Shield folder from Trigger Editor to your map
4. Configure the FShield Config trigger
5. Optionally, if you need the effect used in the test map, just import them from Import Manager to your map (CREDIT @Mythic if you use any of the sample effects used in the map!)
6. Alternative for the effect model is Force Shield (by @Devalut)
SPELL DESCRIPTION :
Protect buildings in an area within target point from any form of damage for a few seconds. Does not affect buildings with Invulnerability or another Force Shield.
SPELL INFORMATION :
Based on Force Shield from Red Alert 2 Yuri Revenge. This is the first spell using TimedSpellEffect, and I might reuse part of the code for future works.
MEDIA SHOWCASE :
CHANGELOG :
Version 1.0: Released

I was not aware of such option available (guess I didn't do my homework, eh?). The current model advantage that makes it more similar to RA's force shield is that it has the hexagon(?)-like style on it, but that model would be good for readability. I can recommend users for that as an alternative.

Yes yes more RA2YR stuff. This is awesome! I'll implement this in my map. 
If only I can make models I would've started making an RA2YR map.
Edit: Oh no I can't open the map I only have jngp.

It requires patch 1.31 or Reforged because that's the patch that TimedSpecialEffect supports.Yes yes more RA2YR stuff. This is awesome! I'll implement this in my map.

Edit: Oh no I can't open the map I only have jngp.
I'll be honest that I can't rewrite this into 1.26 or any other patch below 1.31 because that's gonna be a headache to work with. If you can, I suggest to have a copy of 1.31 in your installation.
Anyone may try to port this to 1.26, and I'll link them in the thread.

Same feeling here, man.Edit: Oh no I can't open the map I only have jngp.
I can convert it to 1.27-, but it will take a few days as I am working on another system at the moment.

I don't have the necessary sound files for that. If you have a sound effect recommendation, please inform me so I can make the necessary changes.

Ah alright then, Thanks! I really need the sound files for perfect replication, though (it bothers me, but if I stuck with that, I cannot fill my time constraints). And, I cannot snatch EA's unless I want surprises in my email.I ws just Kidding
I hope you enjoy it ^^

I didn't realize that the buildings were invulnerable, why not make it a big damage absorbing shield?

I took this approach because as far as I noticed, Red Alert 2 YR has buildings with Invulnerable.

You can just make your own sound files.
Just to avoid copyright issues.
