When i put Sprite Buildings in my maps ... during the gameplay those building can't be killed .. how to make them with HP
You dont.
None.
Don't do sprite buildings, just place normal buildings, you only use sprites when you are A: Using doodad sprites to cover up blocks, or just spice up a piece, B: Trying to get some other weird effect that requires using sprites, such as stacked units.
None.

You could use the famous False Invincible technique. I dun remember how to do it, tho...
It's about setting the HP of a unit/building to a certain amount or something like that and it appear as invincible, but you can attack it

Why were you using sprites initially?
None.

Na, my point is that you can make it LOOK LIKE invincible, but you still can destroy it! >:D

If you place sprite-units in a map you will have the properties of a normal building with properties of a sprite.
It can be clicked on, walked through/over, it cannot be affected by triggers, it can be attacked but whatever you do DO NOT KILL IT.
It will crash.

Why do you need this, anyways? Why can't you just use normal buildings? Are you trying to keep it melee for some reason?
None.

I was able to kill and use triggers on them...
EDIT: Oh, that's when you place them as disabled sprites

So, sprites can generally be used with triggers if they're simply disabled?
Yup 
None.

More possibilities just opened up for me =P
I'm guessing this doesn't include weapon and spell sprites?

Was just wondering if the red nuke dot worked, because i want to use it as a laser sight for a map i'm making.
Nah, it doesn't appear when you disable it 
It's not a unit sprite anyway, so you can't really disable it.

FINE.
=P
I s'pose i could mod the game to make a unit have the nuke dot graphics, but that would be hassle =P
What other effect could be used as a laser sight?

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[04:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
