Hallucanation appearance?

I was wondering if there was a way, that I could make it so when a hallucination is created for a player, everyone can see that it is blue, but it is still controlled by that player it is created for?

No, only the owner sees the hallucination blue. Even allies (+ vision) "think" it's a real unit.

If a computer infests a hallucinated command center doesn't it stay blueish for everyone though?

Hmm, you should try using Player 145, maybe it changed since last patch, but recently someone found that all players see that player as owned by them.

Tested 145, and no luck. Came up with normal colors. (black)

Shucks, when you clicked it, did it have a green circle? That's how it worked last patch, maybe it got changed.

It had the green circle that appears when you normally click a unit...thats it.

Well, in the map I saw, it was an enemy, and when you click enemies they usually have red circles, whereas this one was green.

oh! yes, it still has the green circle, but appears black, not blue.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
