Did you place the bunkers before the P14 Scanner Sweep in the map? I just want to know if you have to place it after for the bunkers, or if you placed the bunkers, and then the Sweep; and the fact that you placed the bunkers first contributed to the effect.

I meant blood as in red and blue biggrin.gif

- Red = Blood
- Blue = Crypt
------------------
- Purple = Blood <--- Alien Blood?

ok.. Advice. I think it looks pretty unrealistic, and what I would do is place the fire somewhere at the Leaves, or branches instead of the very bottom of the trunk. Awesome otherwise.

Leaves would burn immediately, change the trees to trees with no leaves. Secondly, blue fire? Never seen a tree burn blue.

Never seen a flying exploding alien worm creature, either.

It's a computer game, WHO KNEW.

Actually adding different substances to fire makes it burn different colors such as adding methane to gas for fuel makes it burn blue and adding copper into a flame directly makes it turn green.

True. but I stick to the idea about putting the fire on branches, for leafless trees.

Well, i think both works... but just make them and disable/obs them BEFORE the scanner sweeper END, that's all, did you looked at my exemple map ?!

Holy MOLY!!! they arent even visable under fog of war.. this is great find. You finally don't see a stupid building when you walk away from it. and the flame sprite keeps going.

I know this is sorta off topic but how do you disable a protoss building (invisible)??
I tried the same technique as cloaked bunkers but it doesnt seem to work!

It is the same as terran buildings just it won't work for all protoss buildings I think. Try using a photon cannon, they always work for me, and do it in the exact same way you do a bunker.

Could you improve the fire even more by making it have smoke? (hallucination)

You could try making the warmth effect - like you see on hot roads - the air sort of flows - creates mirages in the desert - off topic tho - the effect could be made with observers, would be kinda cool.

Woot, you have seen fire go another colour to red tho....there could be ink in the tree w00t.gif . Don't know what I mean - go burn a comic book.

Yes, shield battery work, just look at the shadows in my screenshot with blue fires...

Of course, too easy, let me explain :
-use p14 scanner sweeper just like in topic
-put carriers (in movment or not, see what better) at the place you wanna the effect
-put (an) arbiter(s), so all carriers are cloaked
-when p14 scanner sweeper is ended, remove the arbiter(s)
-now you got effect, and obs will not see carriers biggrin.gif
