Wait, so does this or does this not work in the current StarCraft patch?
I'm pretty sure it does. From my knowledge, this is simply a buffer overflow, extended units, but I think the only way to find effects with it would be to test each one individually, which is the reason why you don't see this kind of stuff all over the place.
None.
Source? More Information of where you have got these would be nice o.o
None.
How do you do that? I could do a bunch of testing tomorrow, I'm really sick, so no school, which means lots of time to do SC stuff. But I don't know how...
None.

Translation:
well, This trick was announced by FdOps, who is a Korean mapper.
Below is the screenshot, they have no face.
But the changed Unit ID is causing another thing what we don't know.
So units can have an ability like the arbiter's, can have shield or something.
In this case, making units cloaked in its range.
These changed Unit IDs are some of the things realigned when SC is patched.
But I'm posting this because this one could be useful.
I have made a map. Player 2 is being cloaked.
These have been experimented with in the past, but were never followed through to the next patch.
Some I have tested in my spare time:

But how do you do what to get that stuff working? I guess I'm confused as to what they mean by "changed unit IDs".
None.
Each unit has an ID, marine is 0, ghost is 1, and so on, however this only goes until around ID 230, so anything past that causes weird effects, as shown.
And Heinnermann, I think that all the huge creep patch sprites and such are gone now, because all the disabled sprites that used to do it no longer do.

What do you mean? That list I just posted is for 1.16.1, tested on 128x128, either jungle or badlands.

Extended unit ID.

The first post has a step by step picture tutorial... Do you ever actually look at whats posted?
Can this be done with Scmdraft? Starforge doesn't work for me since I used Blizzards Online Download version, since my CD has long died.
None.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

there is no option to modify the unit id of a selected unit on the map
-> no or not yet
Detail on "Crash." Is this just for the player who sees the unit?
None.

By "novel", you mean working?
Ok, So i read through everything here, and I looked at all of the pictures. I understand how to do it, But what i fail to see is the effects, I mena, i see a shitload of random marines that are cloaked and walking around...
What are the useful effects discovered so far that do NOT crash?
Also, is there anyway to negate or counter-act these crashes? (IE, Disable one of the units) ???
Maybe it doesn't make sense, but someone should try it, it might work and open tons of new avenues for Mapping.
I would, but Starforge doesn't work with me, and I've never seen this "Unit ID" thing in SCMDraft.
None.

The top one is basically an arbiter, with the invisible properties of a map revealer.
This is like EUDs, except even less stable between patches, if you want a map to last, I wouldn't recommend using these.

SCM Draft doesn't have Unit ID for some reason.. You need to use StarForge. There are tons of possible combinations you could try, but it all comes down to testing it all, which is a huge task, not to mention a lot of things change in between patches, so you'd have to retest.

Unless someone figures out an equation to describe what Unit ID edits what data.
