Ok. This MAY have been discovered before, but I havn't seen it anywhere yet.

You know the trick to permanantly cloak a Zerg unit?
If you don't here's how... (This wasn't my discovery, just a requirement to do it...)

You need an Arbiter and a Zerg Drone that knows Burrow.
Make the arbiter patrol a small location where the Drone can burrow.
Make the drone go near (I mean near by the path that the Arbiter patrols in)
the Arbiter.
Wait until you FIRST see the Drone cloak. Put your finger on the screen to mark it.
Now quickly Burrow the Drone before the Arbiter gets to that spot again.
Then, RIGHT when the Arbiter gets to the spot you marked, unburrow it.
With time and luck, the Drone will become perm. cloaked.
Now, type SHOW ME THE MONEY as a chat message
and: BLACK SHEEP WALL
and: OPERATION CWAL (Or not)
and: FOOD FOR THOUGHT (In case you want more Drones.)

Now, for my 'discovery'...

I had my cloaked Drone, right?
So, with it I built a Hatchery.
When the Hathery was in it's 'spawning' form, I noticed something.
The 'egg' was a see-through type thing.
When the Hatchery hatched, it was cloaked for like, 1-2 seconds!
Here is more info on my discovery for observers...

I made this map so I could be Zerg and have the Arbiter. It is attached.
I used nothing else except the one Trigger to create the Arbiter.
The Hatchery was no where near the Arbiter.

I am still testing with this for new possibilities and etc.
I also want to see what it looks like if you are an enemy and if you saw it form when it's cloaked.

To Uncloak a Drone, Burrow than UnBurrow.

Please, please try not to put me down on this one, even if it HAS been discovered.

Um...how can I put this...It's been discovered already, a long time ago. It's not practical either.

Argh, man, man!!!

Ugh....

I don't really get what you discovered. The egg appeard when you were mutating the drone? No eggs appear when mutating. And you could cloak other buildings that don't spread creep.

It's a firggin new discovery for me, alright?

ADDITION:


No, not an egg... I meant, like the thing that appears when It is building.

The building cacoon will cloak.
Hatchery won't cloak
Extractor won't cloak
Creep Colony won't cloak
Nydus Canal wil claok, but the exit won't
Spawning Pool, Hydralisk Den, Spire, Greater Spire, Evolution Chamber, Queen's Nest, Ultralisk Cavern and Defiler Mound will cloak.

It's not incredibly useful though because you have to tell the player to do a lot of things. it's very hard to do in Melee; at least a real Melee because trying to fund another tech tree on Lost Temple or Requiem is very difficult. You could use the disable/enable/move concept to cloak the Drone, then have someone build with it, but otherwise it's difficult to implement in maps.

Fadiosa, this is one of the most popular glitches on Starcraft to date. How could you not have known?

Well anyway, burrow-glitch with triggers:

Preplace some computer units burrowed, tell them to move somewhere and create an Arbiter almost at the same time where they will unburrow. Give the units to human players, whatever.

The Set Doodad State method of cloaking a drone allows it to cloak hatcheries and creep colonies.

Don't you also realize that you're not going to be able to do this in melee becuase you need Arbiters (protoss) and Drones (zerg), only way it's possible is if you mind control...

No, I knew the Burrow thing. I did NOT know the building thing until I did this.

wat i love doing in ums games that give u all three races is cloaking a drone, getting in their base and build a canal. so it looks like the just appear from now where

Or use the selection glitch to make the exit a drone and burrow the drone...
