Targeting "tree" units

[BlargIAmDead]

So I've made an ability that's supposed to target trees: it's "Stats - Targets Allowed: Tree" in the Object Editor. And I've made a unit that's classified as a tree: both in "Combat - Targeted As" and "Stats - Unit Classification".

But when I try to use the new ability on the new unit, I just get the message, "Must target a tree". Can anyone explain this?

 

[waaaks!]

even though the unit is a targeted as a tree, the unit still counts as a unit...

Does it matter? I've classified some units as "ancient" or "mechanical" in the same map, even though they're not based on Catapults, Meat Wagons, Trees of Eternity, etc. And spells that target only "ancient" or "mechanical" work on the new units just fine. Why does the rule change for units classified as "tree"?

maybe its because it only tage the Trees not the Tree Type Unit.
I don't know but it can be =O

I will test and i will edit with the results


EDIT:


Yeah i was right.
It only target Trees no Unit of Tree Type =O

Oh...poop. OK, I'll re-classify them as "Tauren" or something. I don't suppose it matters, so long as it's a different classification from the "ancients" and "mechanicals". Thanks.
