The tutorial to having a Red or Yellow moving circle in your map.

1) Explanation:
The Red or Yellow circle is caused by a transmission you send from a trigger to an exact unit.
Causing it to look like this: Click Here

2) Creating the trigger:
Conditions:
Click Here
Actions:
Click Here

Have the location follow the unit.
Conditions:
Click Here
Actions:
Click Here

Keeping the triggers on Preserve Trigger causes it to constantly happen, recreating the Yellow or Red circle.

Have these triggers on all of the players that you wish for them to see the circles, Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, etc.

3) Choosing Red or Yellow
For the Red Circle to occur the computer you wish for this to happen needs to be an Enemy.

For the Yellow Circle to occur the computer you wish for this to happen needs to be an Ally.

4) Moving the Circle(s)
Ordering the units to move.

5) Cloaked Units
Having the unit being cloaked causing you to see the circle more clearly, although it is entirely your choice if you wish to see the unit, you can still see the circle.

-Cool Effect to add to anymap, I used this in my Psych Bound map.

-If this isn't clear enough I'am attaching a Tutorial Map.

Nice tutorial. Can we have them here though?

Nice man i like it and its a cool looking map... but can we place then yellow circles anywhere or does it have to be passable terrain only

you could make it on a cloaked wraith

You can't get those yet.

This is pretty basic, I guess it is good for new mappers to know, I sure hope a tutorial database is put up soon, because that's where this kind of thing should go.

Also, for transmissions you have to have some kind of sound playing, can you delete wav in a transmission and make it still go?

Why can't we quote?
Is this the spot for tutorials?

EDIT: It says "Quote from Within". Sounds pretty cool.

Using SCMDraft 2, the 'sound\bullet\PhoAtt00.wav' is a sound that makes no noise, causing there to actually be no sound.

This is REALLY easy.

well some people don't know how to do this, so it's helpful.

Well duh. You still got to figure most of the stuff yourself, test everything, mess with maps....

Maybe some people wouldn't think of this. So this is giving them more ideas and widening their starcraft mapping ability.

So could this be used to possibly form arrows on maps?

Awesome idea you got here.

Does it also work for burrowed units as well? That would be even better!

sure does!

with invisible, not cloaked, sprites, this could actually look kinda neat, never thought about using it like that.

Even Tux used this in his map.

This effect is mostly used for decoration or an obstacle ( Bound Maps ), you can find many new ways to use this.

I think clokr invented this trick.
