Is it even remotely possible to set up a building that can be selected along with units? I get the impression this would be an Exe Edit if it is possible.
(Note: I want just one building to be selectable like this, not all of them)
Example: click and drag a box around 5 Marines and a Crashed Battlecruiser and see the Mixed Group menu.

I don't think so, unless you make it not a building anymore.

Hum... I guess what I'm trying to get at is a way to make a Thor. My idea was to use a Unit (probably Goliath) and give it a building property so that an SCV could build it, then try to find some way to make it so that building "Lifted Off" was target-able by ground attack only units (and air and ground attacking units, of course). I still think it would be fine to have the Thor as selecting one at a time, so if I cant get the selection right then it wont be that big of a deal.

Would it be possible for a building to morph/turn into a unit?

1) Not sure if I could get it to happen automatically, though that would probably be better
2) Having some trouble with morphing. I don't want to cannibalize the Zerg to build the Terran. I'll have to look back at my Command Center upgrading into Ion Cannon/Infested Command Center and see if I can get that to work.

It's hardcoded.

What did I tell you about doing that !? Told you it's possible to do it already...
Pay more attention to the posts already written on the forum please! There are already 3 or so threads on a sc2 mod topic where at least half of your questions were asked.

Yes

OK, well then have the Thor building turn into a Thor unit. :)

It's not supposed to be a building in the first place... and I don't mean for SC2, but SC1.
