How to make a unit unselectable but still have collision? Locust makes units have no collision.

I think collision can always be turned on or off even if an ability has removed the collision.

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'Aloc', gg_unit_Hpal_0001 )
• Unit - Turn collision for Paladin 0001 <gen> On.

Tried this on a blank map, doesn't work.

Well there's jassbot/doc/BlzIsUnitSelectable now all we need is to find out how to make a specific unit not selectable... I guess it's in their unit object stats?
In the worst case you'd need to use the EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SELECTED / EVENT_UNIT_SELECTED and unselect the specific units.

deselecting a unit through triggers when it's selected does not work, the delay is way too big.

Huh. Works for me.

Oh yeah. It was blocked by trees but not other units.

Use another Unit or Destructible to act as it's collision and use triggers to reposition it on top of the target every 0.01 seconds. If you rely on a Unit, you can probably make it unselectable by giving it a "blank" model and some other modified fields.
