Units can have invincibility.
What I want to do, and probably could do if I bothered messing with triggers long enough, is: Make Location X center on unit X and make all other units, let's say unit Y's in location X (which is centered on unit X) become invincible however all of this takes place in Location Y which contains all units. Now how do I make it so units in or under location X (and location Y since location X is in Y) become invincible and units under solely location Y are not invincible?
So far I just tried make it go through a kind of pattern of invincing, where is make all units in location X invincible and then wait 1000ms and make all units in location Y not invincible; don't know why but it doesn't work.

If you are trying to get more than one unit invincible it is a lot harder but what you should do is set a trigger for the location to follow the unit you wat invincible and have a trigger to set unit invincibility in that location so it will always be invincible. Have another trigger for the units in the other location to not be invincible in case they somehow walk through the other location once.
Say the location you have for invinsibily is invincible and the unit you want invincible is a marine
Trigger to follow unit:
Always
Center "invincible" on "marine" in anywhere
Preserve trigger
Trigger for invincibility:
Always
Set invincibility for "marine" at "invincible" owned by current player
Preserve trigger
If you want more than one. Just keep doing that wit multiple locations and multiple triggers for each unit. Time consuming but it sounds like a good idea!

No no no! I have over 200 units used in my map for players and that just wouldn't do! I have to manage getting *all* units in that location Invincible but not the units outside. None of you really got it on the spot.

Set all units in Location Y (big location) to Not Invincible
Set all units in Location X (small moving location) to Invincible
Put these in a single trigger, in this order.
Throw in a Preserve Trigger.
Tada.

but he needs to some how keep all those units in seperate locations, that is impossible
the only way i can think of, is just to make like 200 locations and follow units. That is the only way i think it will work.
Or.
You could create the units at the beggining before the game is even started and set invinsibilty while ypou place the units on the map. But if you buy them in the game set invinsibilty when you buy them, then have random location flying from unit to unit to either enable or disable invincibility!

Eh I decided to opt with making a hyper heal trigger, where units in location x just heal quickly and can't die from two hits; only one.

dude, pcfredz already gave you the answer
uninvincible everyone in location y(and therefore also in location x)
invincible everyone in location x
this also works in reverse, just remeber the effect that affects the majority comes first

but there is no way to make sure that all the units to keep invincible will stay in that location. There is just no way you have to make seperate locations.

He didn't say they have to stay in the location. Let me break his trigger down for you:
This makes is so that all units will be normal.
This then makes the precise invincibilities. The units in the location will become invincible. Now this trigger has to go through the cycle until it is run again. It will make all the units normal again and then make the units in the location invincible so that units that moved in/out of the location will have their status toggled.

It shouldn't work because you are setting the units in the location and then making them normal again. I may be wrong though because the trigger may go through the cycle fast enough for it not to be noticable.

Simplicity should also be valued.
PCFredz method should work, and the only locations you would need are the specific locations for where the units will be invincible. If every other unit besides the units in those locations are supposed to be uninvincible, then you can use Anywhere as the first location.

not only is using one location for every unit impossible but it leaves you with only 55 locations and if its a bounds or rpg, then this is especially crippling
irt urmom and pcfedz
okay, my bad, my method uses two seperate triggers but it does work properly. didn't notice the part where pc said one trigger

but if one of the invincible units walks into the uninvincible location it will change unitl you move it back and you can die that wouldnt be too good of a bug to fix. I stick with my method!

With hyper triggers anyone who is invincible in the location will only be not invincible for a short enouph time that no one can do damage. Its the best I could do flexibility wise, although under certain situations other methods are better.

Well I think the point is that if you are out of the invincible location you are not invincible, and if you are in the location you are invincible. So therefore even if a unit was in the invincible location and became invincible, based on what Veta was saying in his first post, then those units should uninvincible upon leaving that location.

That is true, but I think what he wants is for the units to stay either invincible or vincible
If I am wrong, Veta tell me!!

Holy crap. Here's a demo map. Can't believe it takes this much effort to explain a simple point.
ADD: note that there is a delay in the transition when the Invincibility status switches, even with Hyper Triggers.
