No way. Unit sprites are clickable and can be affected,
pure sprites are just images and can not be affected.

Don't worry just make it clickable. People know how limited sc is and won't banish your map for it. :P

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

Disabled terran buildings will cloak, but they won't disappear from view (they won't completely cloak) until you see their cloaked form. When you can't see them, you will only see the building, but you can't click on it. The shadow will still be there, no matter what.

That means you can disable a terran factory which is lifted. It will show the terran factory in the air, but nobody can click on it, except for people with detectors. Once it is spotted by a detector, then the detector is removed, it will then disappear into the fully cloaked form and blur out units underneath.

Depends on what units you are trying to do it to, which unit is it?



None.

For this specific case i tried a Hive/ Overmind (shell).
But genrrraly it would be good to know for buildings/units.



None.

Overmind (shell) is disableable, so do that, but never let people see it.

thanks for the tip with the doodad state. i thought a disabled overmind got a crash effect.

Well, i guess for standard zerg buildings is no way.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
