Cruisin' on that LSD

I want the portrait to show up as static for human players in a map. How would this constant static be achieved? Thx in advance

1. Use the "Talking Portrait" action.
2. Set it to show for 0 milliseconds.
3. Preserve the trigger to constantly run.

Is that the effect you want?

Actually, 0 milliseconds will cause it to flicker black if you have nothing selected. Use 100 milliseconds and it'll always be the same static. The only problem with the 100 millisecond method is you won't be able to center on a currently selected unit by clicking on its portrait. But I assume if you want to disable the portrait you probably don't care about that.



None.

I used the effect before, checked the map to see what I did, basically what Roy said except 1000 ms. Not sure what my reasoning was for using 1000, but I just played the map to see it and the static effect looked good so I guess.

What I find works as well is setting the talking portrait to some invalid unit that doesn't have a portrait, like an Alan Turret, or that unit called "Unused." Sometimes it might show up as a frozen Terran Marine, but they normally just become static.

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.
