Permanent invisibility (Apiv)

[masterofra]

I have applied the Permanent invisibility ability, though with a 0 second fade duration, to a building. This works fine, exept it does not work when said building is doing one of three things. Upgrading, building units, or under construction. Is there anyway to allow said building to still be invisible under those conditions?

I'm not sure about that, if a unit does some kind of action except for moving or picking/droping items, it becomes visible, so maybe you can do that with trrigers because I don't find any other way.

How about get a trigger that activates a 0 fade time invisibility when the building is upgrading, creating units or under construction?

When a building is under construction it enters a "phase" where it does not have any abilities, attacks, or anything. It is like a unit that is hexed, even a unit with Permanent Invisibility will not be invisible while it is transformed into a critter.

I just attempted using a modified invisibility spell, and it didn't work, It had no effect at all on buildings. Question, During that "phase" Do buffs apply their effect?

on how much buildings would this need to work on?

i can make it for multiple buildings but every building would require a dummy unit
the idea is:
make dummy building that is selected when player selects a building,if dummy is ordered to research he will research keeping the real building free

Thats an interesting idea.
