oh, sry. The protective effect is the only effect it can possibly have (except from impairing vision for humans).
When you create the Dark Swarm for P12 it will have it's protective effect and disappear after its regular time.
If you place it for other players it will not disappear but will also not prevent units from being hit.

As a side note, you cannot stack swarms when preplacing them.

There are some enemy units I use cloak for, player2 and player 3 have cloaked units.

I use these 3 trigger for player1:

Execute AI script 'Turn ON Shared Vision for Player 2
Wait 0 milliseconds.
Execute AI script 'Turn OFF Shared Vision for Player 2

Execute AI script 'Turn ON Shared Vision for Player 3
Wait 0 milliseconds.
Execute AI script 'Turn OFF Shared Vision for Player 3

player1:
"some action" (nescessary)
wait 1000 ms
preserve trigger

Ususally, all enemy bases remain hidden. But sometimes, enemy 3 base is revealed. It looks like as if the fog of war was cleared around that base, so the position of the buildings is revealed.
