We are already aware of the "Burrow zergling cloak". It is a result of player 14 and the burrow ability. Thats why it is removed.

I dont care about cheats, because you cant use them in multiplayer

In fact, I've already posted about this trick,.
How it works, as best I could tell, is the Zealot attacks the Ling as it burrows, so the ling stops burrong and comes back up to retaliate.
It does this so fast that SC forgets to remove the cloak.

Wats this about Player 14 and cloacked Zerglings and Zealots? I thought the only way to Clock a Zerglign is to have an Arbiter and than do the patrol stuff and unburrown and burrow and it'll get clocaked or something..

No, as far as i can tell, when a unit burrows it cloaks. So when you do that with the arbiter, it adds another cloak to it, and when you unburrow, it justs takes away one instead of two because it still considers the arbiter over it as a temporary cloak, so it takes away the the temporary cloak, but keeps the burrow (Permanent) cloak. On this, you burrow and cloak, then when the guy attacks you at the same time, you dont fully burrow, so it reads it as not cloaked and doesn't do anything about uncloaking it. I think that's what it is.

EDIT: Yeah, changed it a bit.

whoa man... its like blizzard public is in the stone age and SEN is in the space age!
But the cloak ling thing wouldn't be a great trick because the trigger was already developed.
I think shmeeps is right

a lot of that makes perfect sense.

Holy crap, I wrote that? That doesn't sound like me, me would be more like 'BECAUSE IT DOES, MUHAHAHAHA." It must be cause I'm sleepy and just typing just random thoughts or something.

I don't really get wat you're saying. Do u mean that the ling clocks when u burrow and unburrow, but if theres an arbiter nearby it takes away the cloak?

Ok, I think when it burrows, it cloaks. WHen you add an arbiter it makes two cloaks on the zergling. When you unburrow it with the arbiter trick and whatnot, it only takes away the arbiter cloak, but leaves the burrow cloak. I think that's how it works.

Let me refine it all for you demon -_-. When a ling burrows it is a cloak, when it unburrows it takes off all cloaks, an arbiter is also a cloak, so when the arb comes it adds yet another layer of the cloak, when the ling unburrows it takes away any cloak, and if the arb goes away it takes away cloak too, if the arb were to take off its cloak the unburrow would mistake it for the burrow cloak so unburrow wouldn't uncloak anything, Thus keeping the ling cloaked.
This is why the ling uncloaks when u re-unburrow.

Edit: even more refined v for those of you slow ppl out there

There is a layer, a layer of cloak, burrowing activates the layer, so does the arb, when the arb goes away it disactivates the layer, when the ling unburrows it disactivates the layer,the arb activates it, the ling activates it again, so if they both disactivate at same time it only takes away one disactivated layer.

edit:for those of you idiots out there

ling burrow=cloak, arb come=cloak, arb+burrow=2 cloak, arb go away= -1 cloak, ling unburrow = -1 cloak, both at same time = -1 cloak, 2-1=1
1 cloak still cloak.

I'll just agree with watever u guys say

Uh, how did u do the Hydralisk thing?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Clokr_ on 2004-07-28 at 18:54:12

They are right. Burrow and also disable (for traps) is a kind of cloak. That's why players without vision/detectors can't see them. What that glitches does is trick SC so it doesn't remove the cloak state when unburrowing.

HA, yes i was right for once. YAY!!! *Dances around the room for along time*

The glitch happens when you unburrow it when it is cloaking, NOT uncloaking.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Deathknight on 2004-07-29 at 15:40:55

But THIS one happens when you burrow right when it's attacked, causing it to auto-unburrow rapidly.

Well, SC cloaks it but it doesnt uncloak because of the speed.

The only know how that i have found on b.net to cloak a ling is with the arb. ive nevr heard of attacking it or anything else. But the arb works for me.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Deathknight on 2004-07-31 at 11:51:55

The attack thing only works for enhanced speeds like player 13 and 14 2x and 4x.

ok i have a question: If the arbiter and the ling=2 cloak then does that mean when a revealer like a overlord comes along it would only take away 1 cloak so the ling would still be cloaked???

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Shmeeps on 2004-08-03 at 11:58:51

It would still be cloaked, because a detector is basicly a reverse arbiter, a temporary uncloak. That's why dark templars aren't permanently uncloaked when detected.

That is so crazy, I can't believe that actually works... I wonder if it works every time... If it does, here comes a whole army of cloaked zerglings!
