In starcraft 1 , using the mind control ability would drain all your shields. I want to make this effect on my dark archon for starcraft 2. How is this possible?
Yeah, in the costs you can just set it to shields, much like Stimpack has a cost of HP. But does your unit's shields always stay the same or do they increase at all? If they increase, then I think you might need to trigger it (unit casts ability, set unit's shields to zero).
You could look at how emp removes all energy and do same with shields (perhaps make your ability launch set event in which first event will give you control of enemy unit while second event will be "modify unit(Impact Unit:Caster ; Vitals:Shields:Fraction: -1)" .

@Dhaminater: Go
change the cost of the ability to shields?
