Disable Doodad State, and then you must have vision (detector or better) with it. If you just want the overlay, you remove the detection/vision.

Use the trigger action "Set doodad state" and disable the state of the Terran beacon.
Next you have to somehow give the human players vision.
You can do this by creating a unit that is a detector, Protoss observer/Terran Missile Turret, and then removing it.
Or you can do it via triggers.
The trigger action "Run AI Script" allows you to change the shared vision settings. Simply change it so that the players have vision of the owner of the beacon and then wait 0 seconds, and then turn it off.

Bada - bing - bada - boom. :P

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

1. disable doodad state of the beacon (directly chose the beacon type)
2.
A: if the player has no detector near the beacon or shared vision with the owner -> unclickable beacon
B: if the player has a detector (observer, missile turret, ...) near the beacon or got shared vision with it (enable shared vision with beacon owner, wait 0, disable the vision -> does not reveal anything most of the time, at least never at mapstart) -> cloaked beacon

for multiple beacon you need to give it to another player after disabling.
e.g.: disable 3 beacons in 1 location:
1. disable a beacon
2. give to another player (e.g. neutral)
3. disable a beacon
4. give to another player (e.g. neutral)
5. disable a beacon
6. give to another player (e.g. neutral)

Although you got it already, for future reference don't forget the maplantis stuff when the wiki fails you:

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 -- 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.
