This is still in progress, but I have found that a (Disabled) Protoss flag beacon that has a trigger to disable it (again) will be able to place a COP only if a Civilian is not on top of it. Bringing a civilian to the beacon while "Double disabled" will unpower it.
Just a neat observation about flag beacons i thought you should know.

ADDITION:
I have also found that a "Protoss Marker" drawn as a sprite is an unclickable interceptor, great for confusing noobs on UMS maps, because A) it's a lone interceptor and B) it's unclickable. =)
Just something neat for people who want what they can't have...
Oh yeah, a sprite owned by player 13 will not crash SC, nor will it screw with map revealers like normal p13 owned units. the sprite units display a vast array of colors as opposed to the olive green displayed in starforge.
A map revealer placed as a sprite will show up visible in-game and provide vision. Also invincible.
ADDITION:
Actually, this "research" is getting really buggy and crashizy, and it's making me wonder if the civ was the problem. I'll keep tinkering with this and tell you when i come to a concrete conclusion.

ADDITION:
The civ was the problem. It provides "unpower" for dual-disabled beacons.
Unit 6667 Makes all other units on the map have 0/1 hp if owned by player 12.

I guess maybe this thread should be retitled "the research thread", and anything interesting we find out can be posted here....
That in mind, if you want zerg units to have that "glow" on their unit wireframe, make the unit stats like this...
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e123/Vul...e/zergstats.png
and they do this...

Took me a little longer than a while to figure it out.
If you replace the 7 with a 6 and the 1's with 5's, you get a different effect.

Unit 6667 can be announced, though I don't know if we know all the effects it gives, or if it can be attacked, etc. In fact, I'll start the research now.

double disable?
can you show the trigger in here.

place the sprite, disable it in the unit properties box. then, use triggers to disable it again once the game starts. I have found that in-game disabling is waaay different for some units, as compared to pre-placed disabled sprites.
for example, a drone sprite, which is already disabled when the game starts, will mine in place. if you have a normal drone, then use triggers to disable it, you get a rock sprite and the game crashes.

in game (cloaked because of arbiter)
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e123/Vul...ence/drone2.gif
Not disabled, but has triggers to disable 5 seconds into the game
won't let me take a screenshot because the unit becomes visible and the game crashes.
