The select hero ability (The one that merc camps/item shops use) not only makes it select the hero, it also makes the unit with the ability invincable. Now my problem is that I want the unit to be vunerable. Ive tried triggers and messing around with it in the spell editor/ability text fileto no avail.. Does anyone know a way to make it vunerable?

Um, it shouldnt make it invincible. Just remove the invincible ability. It shouldnt make it invincible as a default. Just make sure that you take off abilities that make it invincible.

It's a human castle I want to be able to select the hero, but using it makes it invulnerable. I checked the abilitydata file and theres no information in there. Don't even see the select hero ability.

archers: it does :/

one thing you *could* try is this:

make you building have 0 collision, 0 selection scale, 0 pathing map, with select hero

make another graphicly identical building and put it on top, w/o select hero

trigger: if somethign is ordered to attak the select hero one, attack the non select hero one

trigger: non select hero building is damaged - set life of select hero to damaged building's life

trigger: non hero select building dies - kill hero select building

its a shlep, but it should work ;)

You cannot disable it with the trigger, nor with editing the text (as far as ive seen). I need the actual building to be vunerable becuase of the situation... Im real dissapointed that blizzard got this slack, they could have just added the invunerability to the merccamps... sigh.
