Hello thar. i need to know everything about map revealers. Most urgently I need to know exactly what conditions and actions can work on map revealers. I now know. * Map revealers can only be killed by a kill all units action and remove all units. * Map revealers can be placed on a rescuable players team and rescued. * Locations can't be centred on map revealers. >:( * Map revealers can be detected with the command condition. * Map revealers decrease the unit limit because they are units, too. * Map revealers have a vision range of 10 * Map revealers can be placed anywhere

Hello thar. i need to know everything about map revealers. Most urgently I need to know exactly what conditions and actions can work on map revealers.
I now know.
* Map revealers can only be killed by a kill all units action and remove all units.
* Map revealers can be placed on a rescuable players team and rescued.
* Locations can't be centred on map revealers.
* Map revealers can be detected with the command condition.
* Map revealers decrease the unit limit because they are units, too.
* Map revealers have a vision range of 10
* Map revealers can be placed anywhere

[quote]* Locations can't be centred on map revealers. >:([/quote] They can't? I thought they could. And, can't you remove map revealers? It's sort of another way to "kill" them. Map revealers have a vision range of 8.

Are you sure you can't center locations on map revealers? It's the only actually invisible unit there is (no distortion).

You cannot. If you want a completely non-detectable thing, just place another location, and center it on a unit not in that location, and it will move to the center of that little location :P You can create map revealers If you use the hallucinated power-up trick, you can get map revealers to become visible.

[quote]If you use the hallucinated power-up trick, you can get map revealers to become visible. [/quote] I'll look that up and edit the new stuff in. [quote]Since when? DatEdit says 10. [/quote] I'll edit that in. Thanks for the info everybody, I still hope there is a way to centre a location on map revealers. Edit; found a link to the hallucinated power-up glitch. The site also has a number of other things. I'm going to experiment with it. Edit; Can't find a powerup with hp, though I know i have done that once. Plz help.

Mineral and gas chunks have HP. You can also create hallucinated normal powerups with triggers.

or put a burrowed zergling under it lol

Creating a hallucinatited powerup seems like the best option. I'll check. Is there anyway to make a unit pick up a power up with a trigger? Edit: Anyway to speed up the death of a hallucination? Edit: Still need to speed up the death of a hallucination but I also need to automate the hallucination poweruup trick. A sample map would be very helpful,

Just create a worker near it. They automatically pick it up. No, you can't speed it up. It takes about 80 seconds (if I remember correctly...)

Oh, that makes it a lot easier. Edit: Milliseconds or seconds?

O.o seconds... If it was 80 milliseconds, it would take less than 1/10th of a second. You could try shortening it. I think I just did 80 in my map just to be safe. Actually, probably the best way to figure out a more specific estimate would be adding like 1 mineral per second, and then taking note of when a hallucination dies (it's creation being 0 on the mineral timer.)

You made a map with the glitch? Which one was it?

It was an unreleased "probe arena" concept map. Also see the last bit of my previous post... I edited it in.

Just for clarity how exactly is the glitch used to get visible map revealers?

O.o? I've never heard of [i]that[/i] before... Unless you can manage to do it with a unit number of 405, it's not possible (The highest valid [i]placeable[/i] unit number is 227...)

does the hallucinated power-up trick work in 1.15.2?
