Well first of all, it's not a sprite, it's a unit, and to do it, you have to cloak a beacon!
do something like this
Then do
and then you got yourself some cloaked beacons!
do something like this
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| Cloaking a beacon! |
| Players: |
| ¤ Computer who owns beacon |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ preserve trigger |
| ¤ comment your trigger |
| ¤ DISABLE doodad state for terran beacon at "LOCATION" |
Then do
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| Cloaking the beacon! |
| Players: |
| ¤ Humans and computer who owns beacons |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Comment your trigger |
| ¤ run ai script "TURN ON VISION FOR COMPUTER WHO OWNS BEACONS" |
| ¤ wait 0 milliseconds |
| ¤ Run ai script "TURN OFF VISION FOR COMPUTER" |
and then you got yourself some cloaked beacons!

That's waaaaaaaaaaay too complicated...two triggers?
Corbo's Way Easier Way>>
Conditions:
+Whatever conditions you want
Actions:
+Set doodad state(disabled) for all (beacon) at (Location)
+create 1 (detector unit [it can be observer, science vessel, even turret])
+wait 10 milis (or if you wanna risk it no waits at all!)
+kill all (detector unit)
+Comment (corbo pwns) [Optional]
Note: that the location must be covering the beacon you want to disable, and that the trigger might not work if you do not place that comment

I could have sworn that in scmd2 there was a simple sprite or something... Because it seems i have already used that without triggers... Also, when i make the detector unit, do i have to kill it, or can i remove it? And who do i make it for(human, computer, neutral)? And what is the purpose of that, it seems redundant to just make and kill a unit. Also, do any of those triggers need preserve triggers or are they single-time triggers?

But then you are given vision of that area.

Thats true... I guess i might have to use them both depending upon where they are...

if it isn't explained yet, i'll try to explain it in my own words.
you can do it this way, you might also have to hyper trigger it;
conditions:
-always
Actions:
-disable doodad state for ' beacon' at 'location'(copy this of you plan on cloaking multiple beacons, you have to disable it for each beacon if you need to)
-execute ai script turn ON shared vision for player
-wait 0 miliseconds
-execute ai script turn OFF shared vision for player
this way will work and make beacons all glowy. the shared vision won't be a problem though because the shared vision will take a few seconds before it acutally shows, but since it switches the vision off and on less than a second in a fast way, the vision won't show at all or won't be in effect, but this will still make the beacons glowy.
