Im trying to make a unit that in invincible, but the only thing that Starforge allows to be created with properties is a long string of numbers which Im pretty sure are just unit percentages (and they dont even go to 100%).
Am I wrong about these numbers or are they really percentages? And if they are just percentages, how do I create an invincable unit?
Any information on this would be extremely helpful as all the other times Ive run into this problem Ive just worked my way around it but this time Im not sure I am able to.
NOTE - Sorry if this has already been posted, but I didnt see anything when I searched the forums.

The Unit property value in Starforge does not refer to any percentage, but a set of unit properties that are assigned to a number, called a CUWP slot.
In other words, use SCMDraft classic/X-tra edit to work those properties out, and maybe SCMDraft's Trigedit if you want to try manually editing the CUWP slots and assigning your properties from there.

Use the SetInvincibility(Enable... trigger on the unit after you create it.

when you make the unit, make it with properties, and select invincible

I guess I could use SCMDraft but I prefer to just use 1 editor when making a map. But mostly I dont have SCMDraft and dont feel like dling it.
I guess just using SetInvincibility will work for the moment....or I hope so. Thx for the info.

you don't have to use SCMDraft, in starforge, in the triggers:
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| invincibilty |
| Players: |
| ¤ any player " " |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ whater it may be |
| Actions: |
| ¤ creatunitwithproperties(whatever unit you want) "set invincibilty" |

...? With Starforge? There is no invincibility option...

It's already been stated. That won't work. The number refers to a "Create Units With Properties" Slot. Use Uberation to assign one, then use that number in Starforge. Thats the best route.

im pretty sure the property for currentplayer spawning an invincible unit is "3"
but i cannot check and confirm that at this current time.
hey wonder if u can use those properties to mayby spawn somethin cloacked that shouldnt be or burrow something that shouldnt be burrowed
just a thought.
Oh and btw Starforge isnt smart enough to use [Set Hp at 0-100%]
and i mean not at all.
ADDITION:
GAh i just remember that if u change a unit in apply properties, the properties set back to their original state which is nothing making that spawn cloack/burrowed thing wont work just making sure noone wastes their time

That is incorrect. The number displayed has nothing to do with the properties being used. The number allows you to choose which CUWP slot you want used. StarCraft has 64 CUWP slots in a map where it stores properties. StarForge allows you to direct which one to use, but you can't change what they mean in StarForge, you must use an external program like CUWP Editor or uBeR@TiOn.

Which one is better to use? CUMP Editor or uBeR@TiOn?

uBeR@TiOn all the way
