Ok, I tried using Target Filters for my AoE damage/stun ability. Tried excluding hidden, and requiring visible, but I am still able to zap burrowed zerglings. What am I missing?
The enemy belongs to player 2, so it should fall under enemy instead of hostile I believe. I don't even think hostile units can burrow, oddly enough. But yeah, I excluded destructible as well just to test, and it still blows up all of my destructible trees. This is under the ability tab in the ability, so I dunno? I tried looking for a way to exclude them in the search effect for the AoE, but all I could find that might have been something was 'outer' or 'target'. Didn't find a way to specify them any further unfortunately.
Edit: Just noticed in the burrowed units flags that they are cloaked as well as buried, but there is no flag for hidden. Maybe I need to exclude cloaked and buried both?
What kind of ability is it? Does it, at any time, have a search effect? Make sure you apply the filter to all the effects for the ability, otherwise, you might target something valid but something in-valid gets splash damage

@zelda: Yes, has a stun and damage effect applied to a set which is then applied to a search effect. Do effects have the same target filter options as abilities?
@giz: I thought as much, but this editor can be not so intuitive at times.

make it so it excludes burrowed units? and make sure that the burrowed zerglings have Burrowed checked in their attributes
@Beffyman: Go
Unfortunately I didn't see burrowed as an option, just buried, hidden, and visible.

Curse PremiumSo did see it that time? Or is the problem still there? I noticed if the enemies are neutral hostile, cloaks/burrow behave oddly.
