new category of unit?

[LordPerenolde II]

It is possible to create a new category of unit(such as "undead", "Tauren" or "mechanical")?

no

you can only rename existing ones from advanced -> gameplay interfacesomething

Nop, unless you have a hacked editor. Well, the only way to do this is make a boolean type variable in triggers and a table to place all unit-types you want with a new classification type, e.g. Drenai. E.g.

• Trigger
• If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Load (Key(drenai)) of (Key(Triggering unit)) from (Hashtable)) Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
    • //This is supposed to do the actions if the unit you want is pseudo-classified as Drenai
    • Else - Actions

You can also add an ability, e.g. a bash-based ability with all values to 0 and targets allowed "None", add it in a spellbook item and use the

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Player - Disable (your spellbook ability) for (Player(IntegerA))

and then make this chck:

• Conditions
• (Level of (Drenai Ability) for (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0

The second is better, you won't have to make a table to store the unit-types. You only need to add the spell book ability, which contains the bash-based ability and add it via the Object Editor to the units you want.

well, i knew about modifying actual unit classification but i thought it was possible to create a new one. I'll see what i manage to accomplish. Thanks to both of you.

You would have to rename an old one through advanced -> gameplay
