an example of this would be in dota
strygwyrs blood thirst and invisible units

im not sure myself but
the best way i can think of is creating a dummy unit with vision and minimap icon and make it follow the one you want to see

edit: well i just read it again and i know what you mean and yea... this isnt what you want

I'm creating a system for it at the moment.
You cannot see the units on the minimap, but you can see them through the fog as an indicator (okay, I admit it: I got the idea from starcraft >_>).

There is still a little bug which I need to take care off, but it's nearly done (I'm posting this so I remember to work on it, since I gotta go now :p).
