How do you set a unit's HP to 0 but not kill it?

How do you set your unit HP to 0 but not kill it?

A while ago, I saw a map that did this to leave a paused-clickable "corpse" on the ground. Trying to find a way to replicate it.

Set a units life to something higher than 0.405

SetWidgetLife(yourunit, 0.406)

Tried it, still shows 1 HP

Could you post the map or a link to it?

never heard about that, 1hp pretty much unavoidable

This does not mean it is still the same unit and has 0 hp. It could be faked.

Have you tried setting the units HP regen to 0?

But as others have said it could be faked some other way. Are you sure it was actually a unit?

I played some map like that but it was just making them invulnerable, pathable and played death animation.

You can create a permanent fleshy corpse via trigger. To make it clickable use an invisible dummy unit that is still selectable. Not, sure how to get it to have 0 health. Another options would be to check for location of 'smart' orders and if the target loc is within 30 of loc then do actions. It wouldn't be selectable, but it would allow you to click on a corpse and make something happen (like make items appear).

I'm quite sure you see 1 hp as long the unit is alive. I cannot recall I've seen a 0 value.

(However there is a bug that causes "Invulnerability but attackable". Negative regen could cause the unit to never die at a very certain value (This is very rare, but I never tested with very low negative regen), but I haven't found the magical real value yet or why this bug is occurring. I doubt blizzard fixed this in the latest patch. Only normal unit in melee games with negative regen is the phoenix)

Phoenix Never die Bug - (This might occur to any other units as well if you are experimenting with negative regen, though its extremely rare to reproduce this bug)
