Ok i want the shadow of a terrain building while its lifted do i just diasble it? cause then u kinda see the building....

You lift the building and disable it so that it becomes invisible and you got your shadow.

What do you mean you kinda see the building?

hes talking about some buildings just show half of themselves or parts of themselves unlike lifted buildings,

I know your problem. You have to gain vision of the lifted/disabled building for it to cloak. Either give it to a player you have vision with, or just temporarily vision with the player/computer owning the lifted/disabled lifted building and just unvision about 2-3 seconds later. I think that will work.

not what i mean when u disable(cloak) it, you see the warp of it liek a dt or wraith or ghost, you see the unit barley or if u go UNDER it your unit will get warped....

Well....i guess that since they don't move you won't see the "warp" btw i think everyone here knows it as blur but it's ok i get you, but when you go below the building i'd say...no but i don't really know what's going to happen maybe you should test it out..

Isn't that just a side effect of cloaked units? Like if you look hard enough or stand next to a Dark Templar, you can see the outline.

I wouldnt do that cause its bound to crash your game and yet starcraft lol.
To get a shadow of a building you can try make it lift then teleport it to a section away from the area and you might have the shadow but other ways is and can be done in melee.

Barracks for exmaple :
Get a marine in construction in the air, then land it and a second before it actually lands you cancel the unit and then you have a building you can walk through when its landed.
Now just move the building to another part of the map and maybe that will work but you cant use this thing for comps soo ..... just thought i give you ideas.

Yeah what Marandule1 said is easy. But in melee just press L+M and you'll have a marine in construction and then land but right before you land, tell it to go somewhere else.

thats when you want a unit to be built when the building is actually in the air but in this context the building will disable and you can walk through it etc.
but to do that you must have a unit in the construction screen while in the air.
then land etc......

Umm you can cloak barracks in-game with triggers and it won't crash you...

ok what i want go into the terrain hall of fame and look at the foresty one, the one that has the pylon auras, it has the shadows i want(it has 3 screen shots stringed together

depends well yeah come to think bout it you can turn vision off for all players first then disable them but there is a chance that all those laggers will crash cause there nubs -.-
well you can cloak um easy by this.

If you don't know what you're talking about, don't post. Marandule1, you give out alot of misinformation.

Disabling a Barracks dosen't cause the game to crash.

w/e if you look at most buildings while disableing but even more units crash the game under disableing.

Here's a list about what units crash and which not, i made it myself and when i was testing, barracks did not crash me at all.
Disable list
and anyways the blur thing yes you look some blur, but not too much the building shadow actually covers most of it, lol i discovered something odd to me while testing, missile turrets attack buildings
No the buildings do not crash while you see them disabling
Oh and i suggest all of you to test before speaking anything,just a suggestion...

You can probably disable 60 percent of units without getting crashed but thats just my opinion.

watch the list and count them and you will know

ok well soo most unti crash and most unit you can cloak but not totally successfully.
i know about cloaking cause i made a map with several invisible units on a dodge platform with a cursor around the unit to make it look like a dodgeum car.
