I'm guessing this is done with disable doodad state? If I do that on my marine it's starts shooting air randomly. Is there any way I can make it move again?
What I'm aiming at is that opponents can see your unit but not select it. You have to be able to move the unit around as any other unit. The unit should preferably be a marine.
I used to be able to do such things, but I haven't touched map making for too long.
[Edit]This problem is solved, read third post (my second in this thread) for how I solved it. I am now looking for an explanation on how this could possibly happen, why does it happen? Why are the units cloaked if you do what I did?

Myeah, I tried several methods, including the one you just posted, and either the marine cannot be moved or it crashes me.
Would you mind making me a test map in which this is done (and working)?
[Edit]
Never mind, I'm a moron for trying to alter the trigger a bit (as in, creating unit in the same trigger as disabling, moving to a location instead of anywhere etc). It's working now. Gah, I should try to follow instructions precisely, instead of thinking I know how stuff works. How does this stuff work anyway? I mean, why does it work? Any hardcore seekers out there that actually care about why in the world stuff like this happens?
[Edit2]
Wait, ftw? It's crashing me again!
[Edit3]
Well, after much testing, it's not crashing me anymore. This is the trigger I am currently using (apparently, it need not be copied exactly after all).
You can only make 1 marine with this trigger. Put a condition to the number of marines that you want and then preserve it, if you want more of them.
Note that the unit will cause starcraft to crash in the first few hundred ms, if seen then, and it will only cloak after about a second.
In another trigger I fetch it from cloakingspot to a new location, and give it to the player that needs it.
I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES THIS WORK
SOMEONE ANYONE PLEASE EXPLAIN

i dont understand either but its better off using the method i gave you.
if you want it just for that unit at that location then just take off the preserve trigger and make location 2 into location 1

How is it better off? Mine works faster 
Although I changed the 10ms back into 50ms because in rare cases the 10ms isn't enough.
