Immortality through negative life regen

[Pinzu]

if you give a unit 1 hp and then set its life regeneration to -9999999 (tested in object editor) it will become unkillable by spells and damage! Only drawback is the hp bar being "dead" - but that could be solved by setting selection circle to 0.01. Have fun.

Interesting. Will definitely have a look.

This is known since.. 2007 I believe.
P.S. Max hp doesn't need to be 1.

I did not know it, yet I doubt it has much pratical use. The alternative is to set max life to <= 0. If you add max hp via trigger then, the unit becomes mortal. This is not the case with the method here, but in exchange you cannot sensefully use hitpoints or would have to resort to expensive triggering to make up for it. At this point you can as well control the other option.

This will fuck up almost all GUI unit-alive detection.
