Greetings, members of the SC2Mapster! Once again, I've come to ask a question - Is it Possible:

: To Make Life/Shields of Units Without the Use of Invulnerability?

What I mean is simple. Normally, if you want to make the life/shields of units invisible - all you have to do is simply enable "Invulnerable" in their unit flags. However, if you were to create a map where there are hundreds of different units with different abilities - doing this is simply... Impossible. It's just too much work especially if you don't have any other developers working with you.

One of the biggest traits of my project - The Viacre was that you were not able to see the exact life/shields of units. They were all invulnerable. However, this was possible since there were not that many units to modify in the map. This time, though - Chapter 02 has WAY more different units. A player will be able to control more than 144 different units at a time - with no Blizzard units counted. If you add Blizzard-made units to this, the player will probably see and fight with hundreds of different units. And if I were to modify these units - the map will break even before its out due to the patches of Blizzard. So... I really wanted to know if had to give up on this feature or not.

So, is it possible to... Make unit's life/shield disappear without the usage of "Invulnerability?"

Example of this feature is attached as a screenshot.

Does the life label need to be hidden for some units but not others? Or do you want it hidden for all units 100% of the time?

 Make a new layout in the UI editor put this code in. It will hide all units life,shield, energy labels.

EDIT: Nevermind! Fixed it by doing this! Thank you so much Prodigy454!
