mana shield in tower defense units

[ellspeedy]

hey =)
i have a td map and i have an issue with a creep having mana shield.
in short, the map has two teams of 3, who can each send creeps to the other team. when the creeps are sent the change ownership to player 11 (for team 1) and player 12 (for team 2).
one of the creeps i want to have a mana shield active so that the players have to destroy the units mana pool first and then kill its hp.
i have got close to it working, on the unit i have added the mana shield (hero ability) to the abilities -default active ability and added it to the mana shield (neutral hostile) to the abilities - normal
when the unit is sent the mana shield is active, but as soon as one tower attacks it the mana shield goes, even if the tower damage is 1-1 and the units mana is 1000.
anyone have a solution???
thx ellspeedy

Set the hero active mana shield to the units abilities, and when spawned, issue it to activate it.

1. Use the mana shield that has to be activated to work, set damage absorbed to 100% and mana cost per damage to 1, not sure if thosr are the exact texts but youll find them.
2. Add the custom mana shield to the unit's Abilities - normal.
3. Create a trigger, that when unit enters playable map area, if unit is of type of your unit

• Issue (Triggering unit) to (whatever) - Activate mana shield.
