I don't know if this belongs in Map Showcase & Staredit because it involves staredit.exe ...
Anyways, you can not make a unit have zero attack. However, you can make a unit do .5 attack damage using SCMdraft2. This means a unit with 0 attack points (according to SCMdraft2) will still attack, although that unit won't do a whole lot of damage.

"Tips" is plural 
... you gave one "tip" that isn't really useful.
Why make ".5" damage in SCMDraft when you have something more complete called STARFORGE? -.-

You can make a unit do 0 damage. It says 0 in whatever you put it in, and it stays as 0 in any non-StarEdit based editor (where it shows as 0, then corrects itself). There is no such thing as fractional or decimal damage in StarCraft. Think of it this way: You have a unit doing 10 damage attacking a unit with 10 armor. That's the way 0 damage works. Two attacks for 1 point of damage. There is no ".5" or "1/2" attack value.

I see I must prove it. Very well then, check out the attached reply file and the map. I used only SCMdraft2 and starcraft xtra (in special mode). Also, ignore the carrier... I was trying to experiment with a few triggers but couldn't get them to work.
Interestingly enough, even though the other player is controlled by the computer, the computer did not fight back when I attacked it.

If the damage says zero, it is zero. That is just the way StarCraft processes attack damage.
I didn't see a single zero damage unit in that replay. I saw a bunch of workers fighting each other and a Carrier doing 255, wasting 20 minutes of my time.

if you clicked on one of the workers and then hovered your cursor over the damage the worker can do, you should see the worker can do 0 damage - yet the worker was able to kill off other workers.

Thats because it does a point of damage every other turn. It applies to most units, Zealots attacking with two hits will do one damage to almost anything.

Units with 0 will still attack. I made a map to test it out before the ling with 0 dmg can still kill the larva that was 1/1 hp

Yeah, it's like using marines to kill an Egg. They do 6 vs the 10 armor, but it slowly damages it. SC gives random bonusus of damage so you actually can kill an egg with a marine.

Nope. There aren't any bonuses; the way the damage works in SC is that if a unit does less than 1 damage, it does .5 damage. So the minimum damage in SC is .5.
Edit: Okay just watched the rep. There are 0 upgrades but the workers' base damage is normal, it is 5...

Yes, we know that it does an amount of damage, and that it isn't effected by this "so-called bonus". Its obvious when you watching things attack, whatever the amount of attack it has, at least for Range every two attack with cause a point of damage.
