This idea would be awsom for a rain effect in sc!!!

-Take any Unit
-change unit graphics to to rain and make sure it fills up at least the whole screen
-Make it animated so the rain falls around the unit


Then when people make maps they can have a rain effect by creating that unit and placing it around the map!!!

NOTE: You could make many types of weather like this

its very possible. but youd have to have someway to get them removed

It would probably have to be a animated sprite somehow so people cannot left click on them or right click.

That would be difficult becuase all units are selectable, and you can only minipluate units (and not sprites) with triggers.
The only way I can think of is to change the iscript of every single unit, but it would be super laggy.

*cough* *ahem* Cloak is such a sure-ownage ability... *cough*

Or better, have it be affected by dis/enable doodad state, that makes some units unselectable... (You would have to do this with a trigger in map obviously, which makes it unusuable for melee.

Ummm, what about doors? You can't click on them in game, but triggers affect them. I'm sure it can be done.

1) Its a unit so it should be able to be removed if needed...
2) EzDay2 got it right... Use cloak...

If you used cloak for the unit then you would either have to make it like the scanner sweep ability or people would be able to come near the unit with detectors and kill it (unless you made it invincible also)

I said use a unit that isn't used like a hero something... Then it is used for UMS only for rain effects

Scanner sweep, doors, Dark Swarm, and Disruption Web can't be clicked but they are units. Couldn't you do it that way?

be sure to show use your rain effect when its done

Burrowed units would work quite well also. Secondly, since units can move, you can have observers modified so they can be moving cold fronts!
