i have an issue in my game where when i click on a structure that's building i can't see what it is
help

go to gameplay options
there should be an option

is it the enemy units one? i dunno for some reason i thought that just meant fighting units..

Even if it was just enemy units you want to be able to click on them, If you at a major upgrade disadvantage (1-1 to his 3-3) you seriously don't want to fight his army.

i realized it was an issue a while ago i have no idea why i didn't do anything about it..

Yea, it was set to default for me during Hots Beta, I thought not being able to click on your opponent's building was the new standard.
