Er, I think he clearly has stated what he wants.

I have no idea. The closest thing I've got is something to do with Custom Integers.

Personally, I'm pretty interested in shields too.

Zetanno, TRY making it first, then come here with specific questions. Personally, I don't want to lead you step by step through the whole process. It's pretty intuitive though, just keep track of the shield's health and other stats through a struct "attached" to the unit, then whenever that unit takes damage subtract health from the shield. If the shield's health is below 0, remove it.

im thinking something along the lines of a unit that stays at the location of the unit, and will be only selectable by the owning player + allies, and will, by the use of triggers, take a portion or all of the damage when the unit is attacked, some thing like:

Event:
A unit is atttacked
Condition:
Attacked unit has "Sheild" buff
Actions:
damage unit "sheild" for 90% of damage dealt to Attacked unit
If, Multiple actions;
Condition:
Unit "sheild" dies
Action:
Remove buff "Sheild" from Attacked unit

(of course this is very rough, probably not the actual names of the natives but meh, but thats the general idea)
and so when the sheild dies the buff is removed, and every1 is happy!
