Default Power Toggle SW

Okay, I have a working power toggle SW. It toggles base power just as it is supposed to. There's just one problem. If you ever click on anything but a building with it (like the ground) then it will give an IE. Is there any way to prevent it from targeting the ground?

EDIT: Okay, after a bit of testing, it seems that you can click on units or infantry with no error (but no effect). It's just the ground that causes the IE. I'm going to test it on overlays and terraintypes (read: trees) next.

EDIT THE SECOND: Overlays (like walls) cause IEs, TerrainTypes (like trees or ore mines) do not, surprizingly.

Well, the Force Shield taks away all of your power, and the power toggle that I have is like the TS one: it gives you power by taking a building offline.

That's nothing new. It's just not used normally, 'cause you can shut down the enemy's buildings as well.

What if you gave the Sw a other action, so the targeting would function else

You can? *tests* You can. Shit. Oh well, it was a good try. I wonder why they left that logic out in the first place?

(I really bwanna know if there is a possibility to make the forceshield work on the enemy base (including power down). If so, it would be a k00l SW

I doubt there is a way to power down an enemy, without a spy or somethin'. Then again, that would be cool.

You can't do that because this SW relies on the Action=TogglePower and has no Type=. Without an Action= it would do absolutely nothing.
