A Forgotton Button?

Has anyone ever noticed in World Editor at the bottom right corner in between the scrolls is a tiny green button called a Gem. Anyone have ne idea wat it does?

ive seen it.. as far as i know, all it does is say Gem On and Gem Off ^^

I can't remember completely but I think if you have gem on and you delete a placed unit. It plays the unit's death animation...

that's not all it does. sometimes when you select a unit (usually when you drag over it) it will play one of his sounds that it plays ingame when you click on said unit. also it doesn't just play the death animation with the gem on, it doesn't remove the unit until the death animation is done. using undo and redo you can create some very interesting glitches with several of the same unit occupying the exact same space. anyone know anything else that it does?

I did sum research in wikipedia and it said the Gem all started in Diablo. I dont remember what the gem did there, but it gave a slight twist to the game.

the gem just activates the sounds when you select a unit in the editor or when it dies(also plays anims)
but i dont suggest you use it cause like stated before, has alot of bugs when you redo.(units not disappearing but they arnt there thing)

to my experience the bugs only occur when you're going way fast. so if you're patient and methodic the gem should make creating/editing maps a little more fun.

From what I remember Diablo, Blizzard's official response was that it did exactly what it was supposed to.
