[Action Problem] - Make it stop! (Literally)

How do you make a unit stop researching/upgrading/hiring something. I'm making a custom resource that uses variables and I need it to order the unit that hires to stop researching etc. If there isn't enough of the resource.

Just have another unit cast Frostwyrm's ability which freezes building. Have the dummy unit keep attacking the building until you have enough resources. Assure that the unit has practically no damage so it cannot hurt the building. I also suggest the unit is friendly and so the ability is able to affect friendly units. Else an "Unit is under attack" message will appear.

im not sure but i guess u can do it by pausing the structure with the "Unit - Pause <unit>" action
