how to make units invincible to each other but not player

[dresoccer4]

hey guys, quick q on the ME: how can I get opposing battling ground units to be invincible to each other (so the battle never stops) but then allow me (the player) to attack and destroy them per usual?

As I just found out (thanks to @Kanelbolle and @sirrah) you can do this by exploiting an undocumented (let's be charitable) "feature" of the "immortal" command:

If you put "immortal" as the first command  in a group's Advanced waypoints, the entire group is invulnerable to both players and other AI

if you put "immortal" as any other but first command in a group's Advanced waypoints, the entire group is invulnerable to AI, but can be killed by players.

Did you just mark your own reply as the solution, instead of CFRAG's post?
