Is there anyway i can disable the doodad state for a unit without having my game crash on me? I want to make it so when a player selects his unit, it is cloaked when it spawns. If anyone could post a trigger for this, that would be great.

there is a list of units that will crash SC when disabled

this topic may be of use to you http://www.staredit.net/topic/5756/

I think you have to Enable Doodad State after disabling it. (Or is it before? I can't remember...) And there are some units that just won't cloak.

Oh yea u disable the unit then u remove vision and then enable doodad i think

EDIT:
Nvm ai script turn on vision, disable doodad, ai script turn off vision

You just have to test it, some units work fine when you just disable them in full view, some can be disabled offscreen and not crash, and others can't be seen at all and not crash, and still others will crash no matter what. All you need is Disable, however, depending on the effect you want, you may want to give vision and then take it away, like if you are trying to have the cloaked beacons.

Cloaking units is like this: Disable, wait 0, enable, wait 0, enable, order, then they're stable, you may need to do this out of sight.

All burrowable zerg units can be cloaked via the arbiter trick, as well. If you want to keep them cloaked, you have to disable burrowing, as they will be uncloaked if you burrow them.

Not to mention, the arbiter trick is much more stable than the disable-enable-enable method. I tried a million ways to get a 100%-no-crash-method with disable-enable-enable a hydralisk, and it simply doesn't work. Once in a blue moon it crashes anyway.

Yeah, but when you burrow a unit that is cloaked via arbiter, when they unburrow they are no longer perma cloaked, but if you do it with the disable enable enable method they will retain their cloak.
