I've seen some maps where the beacons are 'gone' and all thats left is the flashing light of the beacon. All I know about how this is done is that it involves the death of an observer for player 1. Can you plz tell me what else needs to be done so that i can do this? thanks

when i did this though i could still see and click the beacon. what i want is just the flashing light. i saw this done in several bound maps.

Make sure oyu do not have a detector nearby. It is also possible I'm forgetting somehting; it's late :/

You need to create a detector, then have a wait, then remove/kill the detector so they see it and then "unsee" it.

What you have to do is disable the beacon, and either give it to a player you do not have vision with, or preplace it for a player you do onot have vision with.

Observers are the crappy way about it. use vision triggers.

Also try usting scanner sweeps pre placed... it works for me and you dont use triggers other than to disable...

Yes but scanner sweeps show up on map and that doesn't look as good as magically cloaked beacons.

Place invincible Observers around where the beacon is for each human player and a location under the beacon called'Beacon' and another location under the observers called 'Obs Remove'. Here is an example:
I'm not sure how long to make the wait in Elapsed game time.
| Trigger |
| Players: |
| ¤ All human players. |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Disable doodad state for 'Whatever Beacon' for 'Whatever Player' at 'Beacon'. |
I'm not sure how long to make the wait in Elapsed game time.
| Trigger |
| Players: |
| ¤ All human players |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Elapsed game time is exactly 4 game seconds. |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Remove all 'Observers' for 'human players' at 'Obs Remove'. |

Visions only good if the beacons or whatever should be disabled from the beginning, if throughout the game you are creating cloaked beacons observers are the way to go.
Unless its just me, but I find it easier to create and kill the observer all at once then needing an extra trigger for the computer players vision.
