Hey, i was playing the cloaked tank def game and i watched midle where there is some units whit name (probly the creators or the member of a clan) anyway, i saw you (U)bolt_head and i also seen zerg units with flashing grey life... I mean the draw of the hydra for exemple was gray and glowing the middle of the draw was transparent.
how can you do that? someone knows how?
I also would like to know how to write stacked message?
thx you all

P.S. (i tried to send the map if you don't have it. I don't know if it will work)
You either set the HP to the right of the default onin Starforge to 1 or use sprite-units. Sprite units will always have the value <default Starcraft HP>/<custom set Hp>
The gray wireframe is from things like 2/1 hp hydra.
Ok i see, and for the stacked text? is it a program?

ADDITION:
hmm forget about the previous msg, i dont get it... I don't know if you looked at the hydralisk or the ling but they are gray and not dark purp. When a zerg is gravely injured he is dark purp... And in the map the color is glowing and fading.
The life also stay the same, i tried it with one hp but zerg life up with time...
The tank picture has also and strange color... in fact, he's blue...
and maybe the "stacked text" is maybe what some people call to overlap text, am I right?
anyway somebody has a better explanation for the color of the unit picture (the health gauge)? if yes how can we do it?
thx

Put 1 for the small box and 2 for the big box for the blue wirefram. It will not always work though. Sometimes it will be yellow and red like it is injured.
And your "stacking text" I presume means overlapping. Look around in old topics on "Overlapping Help" it will teach you how to overlapp.
Oh ! thx! i got it!
Why those number, 1 and 2? I see how but i don't understand why.
And it takes time before the gray color setle
anyway thx for all

1 in the little and 1 in the big works well also. What kaboom says give you 3/2 hp, what I said gives you 2/1 hp. I did things like this in Spell Defense (see DLDB)
You can only get it gray by using a sprite unit. Regular units only work with 1/3, 1/2, and 1/1. Sprites work with all kinds of

.
Glwoing black-to-gray Zerg units is 2/1 or 3/2.
[center]Or, you could hex the UNIS/UNIx section of your CHK and set the '00 HP HP' to '01 HP HP' and that would make the HP to HP+1/HP.[/center]
sprites are unit graphics/just graphics, I see that.. But you can click unit sprites?
sprite, graphics, .... o_O ?? what'r hologram units then ???

No. Sprites are part of the terrain. Unless you are talking about sprite-units.

Its a sprite-unit
If you Hex that number to 02 would it be +2 HP? Or +1 still, like in SF.
