Is it possible to give units shields?

I know its possible with a passive mana shield.

But is it possible making shields seperate from mana?
Hopefully with
- Able to regenerate
- Able to have an armor value
- Able to be seen/displayed

thank you

So what exactly do you want it to do?

Do you want a unit that can equip a shield? thereby having an unshielded unit change into the same unit but carrying a shield?

I got a bit lost at the able to regenerate bit.

I saw it on wc3search in Spells section. Probably Vex's work but I'm not sure.

Basically what I would like is being able to give units shields.

e.g. a unit with 100 hitpoints, 100 manapoints

then a completely seperate 100 shield hitpoints.

By regeneration I simply meant the shield acts the same as hitpoints in terms of being able to regenerate overtime and have some armor like units with hitpoints are able to.

Not a spell but simply a passive thing attached a unit. So I could have it built into Marines having a passive 50 shields and still being able to use their mana for spells.

I'll check you spell out now Shadow

EDIT: Wow, the ability was quite amasing :-) Even has the hitpoints displayed above the head.

It is exactly what I need, but I need a passive version.
One which I can apply to several units so that each unit has there own differnet shield hitpoints.

I dont know if you take requests but hopefully you may consider it.
If you could make it slowly replenish over time it qould be an added bonus :-)
