Some behaviour is in no dat table at all. The executable branches on the unit id, so the value you edited is read and then ignored, with no error. When a setting is plainly right and the game still will not do it, this is the first place to look.
"…family" includes the unit's heroes - the Ghost family is Ghost, Stukov, Duran, Kerrigan and Infested Duran. The list below is cafebook's community catalogue rather than a measured table: read an entry as "expect this to fight you", not as a proven fact.
| 클로킹 | Only the Ghost family, Wraith family and Kerrigan. Give a Valkyrie the cloak button and the ability and it still will not cloak. |
|---|---|
| 시즈모드 | The Siege Tank family only. |
| 대기열 생산 | Reaver and Carrier families only. No Zerg-attribute building produces through the queue except the Infested Command Center. |
| 건설 | The SCV alone. Cloning units.dat onto another Terran unit does not make it build. |
| 공격 명령 | The Medic cannot be given one. |
| 트리거 생성 | Scarabs and Interceptors cannot be created by a trigger. |
| MoveLocation | Does not work on the Trap family. |
| GiveUnits | Does not work on the Map Revealer or the Door family. |
| 클릭 불가 | Nuclear Missile, Scanner Sweep, Scarab, Dark Swarm, Disruption Web, Map Revealer, Doors. |
|---|---|
| 다중선택 불가 | Critters and the Spider Mine. |
| 맵 리빌러 | Invisible, no collision, and entirely absent from locations: neither a Bring condition nor Remove Unit at Location sees it. Only the location-less Remove Unit works. |
Any bookkeeping that counts units in an area silently misses the Map Revealer. If your map uses one and counts by location, that count was wrong from the start.
| 파워업류 | Force-create, overwriting whatever occupies the spot. |
|---|---|
| 비콘류 | Force-create as long as the build-size check passes, and still do after being turned into a flyer. |
| 가스 건물 | A destroyed gas building leaves a P12 Vespene Geyser behind. |
| 영웅류 | Carry the speed, range and sight upgrades whether or not the hero flag is set. Vulture heroes are an exception. |
| 아비터 클로킹 범위 | Equals the Arbiter's attack range. |
|---|---|
| 고스트 핵 유도 사거리 | Equals the Ghost's sight range. |
| 스커지 | Closes to melee after the first attack however long its range is; neither Scourge nor Infested Terran attacks on Hold. |
| 스캐럽 없는 리버 / 인터셉터 없는 캐리어 | Hold becomes Stop. |
| 리버 공격속도 | Not adjustable by ordinary means. |
The Valkyrie's four-shot air attack and the Queen's refusal to attack anything but a half-health Command Center are iscript and AI respectively; the chapter's own comment thread corrects both. That is the general lesson: an exception with a mechanism is editable, an exception that is an id in the exe is not.
| 실드 아이콘 | Cannot be removed from a shielded unit. |
|---|---|
| 스캐럽/인터셉터 개수 아이콘 | Cannot be removed from the Reaver and Carrier families. |
| 시민의 계급 | A Civilian's rank cannot be shown. |
| 히페리온 / 노라드 II | Renaming either pins the rank to stat_txt string 571, Admiral. |
| 간트리써 | Keeps stat_txt string 572, Tassadar, while it has its stock name, and loses the ability to show a rank once renamed. |
Two of these are crashes rather than refusals. A Ghost-family unit flagged Single Entity crashes the game when it dies or is removed, and Mineral Field 1/2/3 and the Vespene Geyser crash when unit-ised. The comments contest the geyser - one whose image stays a geyser reportedly survives - but then neither Move nor Give works on it, and the report is from 1.16.1. Treat resource doodads as not unit-isable.
