I heard quite a while ago, somewhere online, that there was a glitch to permanently decloak a dark templar (most likely through the use of triggers, but I cannot recall). I think it said only 1 player could have a decloaked DT. I've tried re-surfing and found nothing.

Is there a way to permanently decloak a dark templar without modding or causing a desync? Did they patch it, or was it just plain false?

to my recollection it was from doodadstate toggling though i cant recall in what order.

It was patched quite a while ago, it no longer works with the latest patches.

I believe it was an Arbiter for an extended player.
If you really want it that badly, you'd have to do a lot of testing.

.. God, I wish i can make smilies bigger.

If you are doing it for just an effect, you can just make a hallucination of one, and that would be uncloaked.

Unless there was a way keep the hallucinated DT's permanently alive(timer wise) without replacing it, so it could take the hp dmg, then I could stack an invincible DT sprite on top of it to fill it's attack, then not really.

Even then, it wouldn't be all that pretty, seeing as it would take some maintenance to keep them together.

Actually, that wouldn't work because spells (e.g. irradate) would insta-kill it. So nvm.

You COULD make a vHP for the hallucination, and have it replaced after every 60 seconds or so (Depending on how long it lasts). The vHP would allow it to take hits like real unit.

if all else fails, turn on shared vision

Hmm... I made a reply before, but it didn't show up.

vHp couldn't be used for the type of scenario I intend to use, and neither would shared vision.

I think I'm just going to have the players use parasite on the DT. It's not the prettiest solution, but I suppose it could work.

Maybe you can force a computer to parasite. Give shared vis to it and voilá.

Constantly create and remove an observer with 1000 ms wait time?

Allied vision to computers wouldn't not work since there are only two computers maximum and vision is not allowed.

Creating Observers would slow down units under them and would detect other units, such as mines.

not really if you don't do it every trigger loop.

I will probably just try that and see how it works.
