Hi, I have several questions.
Is it possible to make units/buildings transparent in the object editor?
How can I use the spirit walker's model transparent state? It only shows its normal state.
And how to stop animations of unit models that I assign as buildings?

1)
  • Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
2)
The Ethereal Form ability makes the unit Ethereal, like how Bloodmage's Banish works. All Ethereal units have that transparent state.

3)
  • Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed
You need to use triggers to change the Animation Speed/Transparency of a unit.

No problem. And you can basically achieve the same thing by modifying the Units the moment they're created. A simple trigger like:
Events:
"A unit enters map" or "A unit finishes construction"
Conditions:
Triggering unit or Constructed structure is a Building equal to True
Actions:
"Change triggering unit's Transparecy/Animation Speed"
