STICKY: Starcraft 2 - Missile Turret - Detection

[SomeRandomDeleted Dr. Cabbage0]

UNSOLVED: NOT POSSIBLE TO DO

Zup, need help with a thang yo!

U all have seen the Blizzard movie trailer of Starcraft 2, aight?
Did you see the Terran trailer?

In that case u saw the Missile Turret's Detection system wich alowed it (after an upgrade) to see units that is near, but in the "black mask".

[By Black mask I mean, that area you haven't discovered yet]


Soooo, is it possible? Can I make something similar in Wc3?
I tried A LOT of things to make it work, but it wont work! =/

Short said, can I do this without triggers and just use an "Aura Ability" or does triggers have to involve in this?

Thanks for answer ya'll !!
Peace out!

Even if this is plausible it'll be very inefficient. If anything it'll require v/Jass.

I guess you're right m8, tried everything now..

JASS: Might work
GUI: Impossible

I don't see how you'd get the graphics, seeing as the nature of Black Mask stops them.

Ye could use an array of timers to track, and have ye timers set off a minimap ping on the location of yer detectables. Though ye ears will bleed from the pings.

A system like this, I have near completion in me map!

Ye would not get ye fog effects, me matey! (Whee, TLAP)
