Hi, I'm extremely new to the SCII scripting/modding, so the question is probably somewhat dumb, but I couldn't figure this out.
What I need is to attach a custom variable to some units, pretty much like another life/shields/energy thing, just my own. Hopefully this is possible to do with a script for a number of existing unit types at once, e.g. for all structures or something like that?
OK , I figured out the way to do it via the data table, not too pretty but simple enough - concatenating UnitTag with some arbitrary property name yields a key for the table.
As for the UI, TextTag attached to the unit will do for now:)
Also I just realized that I probably shoud've posted this in "Triggers", sorry for that:/
There are functions to set and get custom values for a unit. A custom value is a real (fixed in Galaxy) type. I have no idea about limitations of this approach but at least a few custom value indices are supported per unit.

ModeratorsYou can add custom UI to units but you probably will need to handle the extra status with triggers.
