Removing the shadow from a unit?

[CoLd Bon3]

Hello, mates! How do i remove the shadow from a unit but not by hiding it. I tried with the Shadow Meld skill but it only hides it partly.

Help is highly appreciated!

None of the methods in that thread will work for me... the removing of shadows is only a configurable in my spell-system. It must not include object editor stuff.
Locust is a possible solution but... i don't think it will work well. Thanks, though!

scope ShadowTest initializer init

    function GetFutureNextImage takes nothing returns image
        local image im = CreateImage("ReplaceableTextures\\Splats\\AuraRune9b.blp",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1 )
        call DestroyImage(im)
        return im
    endfunction
    
    function CreateUnitAndGetShadow takes nothing returns image
        local image i = CreateImage("ReplaceableTextures\\Splats\\AuraRune9b.blp",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1 ) // the last argument (integer) can't be 0
        // the image has to be created, else its id is -1, we have to use a valid string argument for the image
        // note that textags have a lame convention, id == 0 means both the last valid texttag created and an invalid one (limit of 100 texttags reached)
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetHandleId(i))) // no handle id leak, woot, images are so special, or the handle id leak is fixed with locals ?!
        // i'm wondering if it's the same with texttags and also with other pseudo handles (sounds ?!)
        call DestroyImage(i)
        // we need to create a valid image to get the next id handle, we destroy it to recycle it
        call CreateUnit(Player(0), 'hpea', 0, 0, 270)
        // the shadow will use the recycled id : i
        return i
    endfunction
    
    private function init takes nothing returns nothing
        local image shadow = CreateUnitAndGetShadow()
        call DestroyImage(shadow)
        set shadow = CreateUnitAndGetShadow()
        call DestroyImage(shadow)
        set shadow = GetFutureNextImage()
        call CreateUnit(Player(0),'hfoo',0,0,0)
        call DestroyImage(shadow)
    endfunction
    
endscope

just use this to destroy its shadow
