Okay, for my map I want to use a hologram-type setup in the cargo ship for certain automated systems, I was wondering if anyone had a map that showed a unit flashing pretty quickly, but to the point that it is easily visible.

As in flashing colors? Or just like disappearing and reappearing...

I think if you use a create-wait-kill... it would overlay the new unit over the death, and if it's a hallucination you get a flashing unit over a blue background that's all zappy and stuff.

I want the unit to appear and disappear, no explosions, no flashing colors.

Ya, just do.. create unit, wait 0, remove unit, wait 0, create unit, wait 0, etc. etc. And if that's too fast just increase the waits.
Or if you're one of "those guys" you can use death counters O.o

Yes, I'd have to say that I am one of "those guys". :P

Thanks for helping guys, I went ahead and figured it out by myself, TY anyway..

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

If the unit always spawns looking in another direction, you can move the unit to another position for one trigger cycle instead of create and remove.
An example would be a Marine.

it'll look better if you use a hallucination, unless you make the player color blue

Well there is a easier way to do this but,it makes all your units flashy and only in the mini map.On player color choosing Chose Blueish Grey.It is a nice color that glows/flashs.Like I said though it has flaws to how you want it.

yeah, example attached.
if you use hallucinations, you'll have to turn on shared vision, or you won't be able to tell it's hallucinated.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
