When you place a StartLocation unit-sprite, and disable it in properties now when you click on it in game, it gives you a voice alert: "Units are under attack".

Navilen, you find this out on your own, because thats sweet! Maybe there a way to make it say something like "Nuclear Launch Detected" or some other things. Nice find, if that was you who found it.

Place a "unit" sprite startlocation, go into properties for said startlocation and check the disable box. Now in game the startlocation is selectable and when selected it says this voice msg "Base is under attack", it does not display the text, but it does say the msg. Some other unit sprites have cool stuff when they are disabled.
Note:"Men" type units can not be disabled(Accept for scv's)(I havent tested all the units but Im assuming you cant), neither can Protoss buildings,Terran Special Buildings, and mineral field type3, the gyser (These all crash)
All of the following can be disabled:Beacons,floorhatch,mineral fields1/2,all the addons,all terran "normal" buildings, zerg buildings, traps, doors,powerups.
Note: Sometimes if you go straight to the disabled unit SC crashes. I suggest placing them further up so you can go below them and then up. Some things create sprite "0" when they have the disabled box checked. (Ebay,refinery,supply,comsat, and some others)
Some random stuff Ive found: Checking the Disable box for the floorhatch opens it. Disabling doors opens them. Ebay looks really werid when disabled, as does the comsat, and the supply depot. (They flash, the fans spin really fast)

Advanced Sprite Properties
By: Ðeathknight
(1) Use Starforge
(2) Place any unit.
(3) See the unit type in the properties box.
(4) Copy that number.
(5) Delete the building and place any sprite.
(6) Go to the sprites properties.
(7) Put in the number of that unit you had before in the "Sprite" box.
(8) Uncheck the draw as sprite box.
(9)Check the "Disabled??" box.
(10) In the game it will be determined on what number you have used. You can see the list I've made below for reference.

Well wftwftwft.scx can be fixed if u delete the trigger that creates the units that crashes the game. Another thing on the map it says alot of tricks are there on the DB discription but I cant find glowing unit hp and some other things. And in the map echobound how do you do all that cool stuff like the unit hp and 3/2 hp etc?

Starforge. In unit proporities theres two boxes for the health, the first little one should be more then the second box example:
7 4
you can do any combo... some may work some may not.

The value of the first box (as long as it is non-zero) does not make any difference in any context. That is, 0 does nothing, and any other value has the exact same effect (changed wireframe, +1 HP, etc).

Everytyhing (almost) that is invalidly selected does that, E.g. minerals that are owned by urself (place in StarForge and set player to 1, then look in game and click it. Also note ONLY you can mine it.)
