One way to do it would be to use hyper triggers to constantly set shields of a protoss unit to a specific constant. This doesn't work when a unit is hit by 2 units at the exact same time, but it's probably by far the easiest way to do armor by triggers without using virtual hp.

ya, what fritfrat said would be the best way, this would also apply to virtual HP too. However, if you wanted a more virtual method, i can help with that.

Here's something on vArmor:

QUOTE(xmrxsiegecopx @ Oct 28 2006, 08:47 AM)
...As for how vArmor works, you can first take an attacks's damage amount, then use binary count-offs to remove from the attack's total damage before applying the remaining damage amount of the attack to a unit.
QUOTE
Logical Description: Unit1 uses attack1 to attack unit2; unit2 has armor, converting attack1 into attack2; unit1 successfully attacks unit2 with attack2

Create triggers with these particular effects in the following order:


a) Unit 1 creates Attack 1 to attack Unit 2.
b) Attack 1 begins to attack Unit 2.
c) Unit 2's vArmor weakens Attack 1, converting Attack 1 into Attack 2.
d) Attack 2 then reduces Unit 2's vHP.
e) Unit 1 successfully attacks Unit 2, and Unit 2's vArmor successfully reduces Attack 1 into a weaker Attack 2.

Via unit or Health Bar?
you could also use different units as armor.
use energy as a resource.

or just use a basic method.
