How to disable unit's abilities and building

[Erkki2]

I'm making a modified (triggered) version of animate dead, and I need to simulate the original spell as well as possible. I'm almost done, the units are summoned, recolored and so on, but I still have one problem. How do I disable all abilities for summoned units, including building?

You could have a dummy unit cast a silence ability on them (base it on Soul Burn), but I'm not sure if this will disable building.

Alternatively, add the Ward classification to these units, as this hides all buttons on the unit's command card, which makes all abilities impossible to cast. They'll keep their passive abilities, and you'll probably have to edit a lot of your spells to target wards as well.

The last option is to catch any orders given to these units, and if it isn't {smart | attack | attackground | patrol | stop | holdposition}, order it to stop.

There is no action that alliws you to Remove all abilities of units/buildings as far as i know. Work arounds I can think of are:
1. Instead of recreating the dead unit, create an illusion of it with 100% dmg and takes 100% dmg. That way, it cannot use abilities.
2. Store all unit types' possible abilities into a hashtable so you can directly know what are the abilities a unit has allowing you to remove thoaese abilities via Unit - Remove Ability.
3. Make it's mana zero with very high negative mana regen or silence the ressurected unit forever.

EDIT: Ohh, someone already suggested the silencing part.

I think that illusion method would work. Thanks!
