I have a map where all 3 races are available. So player 1/6 can have terran,zerg and protoss units.
my problem is with the supply. Do i have to place 30 or so depots/overlords/pylons for every player, so players can control alot of units?
Can't i cloak all of them? (depots/overlord/pylons) or is there a better way maybe?
For instance in the Nexus maps on battlenet you dont see any vorm of supply buildings/units whatsoever.

Would it work if you 'disable doodad state' ?

I don't think it's possible then. Sorry to disapoint you although what you could do is get a hold of the map you want to copy and see how they did it

Yes i know, i have the map, but i cant find any triggers or any cloaked buildings at all. Download the map and see for yourself

Ok maybe it is because you cannot make any units during the game the triggers do that for you meaning that it won't matter if the supply limit is exeded have a look when you are playing the game and see what the supply limit is 
. My guess is that it will be in red e.g 47/11 or something like that.

Well i sugges first staking the supplies and then unvision ur self as well as all other players by runnig the AI (look for it i forgot the name lol) at the location that the supplies are and then no one can see them.

Or you could do the way the guy/girl did it in the map above, but that is a good way

yeah u mean unshare vision or something like it. I could try that thnx. Too bad if u stack like 25 overlords the game crashes.
Im making a game just like nexus, almost similair but i did get a warning , not enough supply depots but ill play the game again:D
thnx

Looks like they did it the way l thought then you would be better off doing it this way, you should try it this way before you stack buildings.

well i still dont know why i got that warning in map about supply but what you said about triggers and placement is right. I dont need to stack any supply's for my map.

you could disable your vision then have vision of another person then give the stuff where he cant see and you dont have to see your stuff

Cloak the overlords and put the buildings stacked under sprites.

You could also use extended player units to increase the supply.. but that would be kind of a bad idea unless you were already using EUD conditions or other extended units, because it would make mac users crash.
