Disabled Sprite Effects

Sprites can be disabled using StarForge, this is probably the only reason I would ever use StarForge, since all the other editors cannot do this function. So how do you make disabled sprites? This is how: 1. - Open up StarForge 2. - Place any unit or place the sprite of the unit you want 3. - If you placed the unit, select it, then right click and select Properties 4. - Copy the number to the right of Unit Type 5. - Place any Sprite, select it, then right click and select Properties 6. - Replace the number to the right of Sprite with the number you copied 7. - Select the unit again, go to Properties, uncheck the 'Draw as Sprite' <-If you placed the sprite of the unit, you are now to this point-> 8. - In the Properties menu the 'Disabled' box and you are done! Now try it out in SC! That's how you make a disabled sprite, now here is a list of how StarCraft reacts to each disabled sprite, these tests were originally performed by DeathKnight, although I have redone each and every unit, and unlike DeathKnight I haven't skipped any, if there is something you see that is on the list made by DeathKnight that is not on mine, it is not because I missed it, it is either because it has changed throughout patches or DeathKnight messed up, because I have gone through and checked each unit for what DeathKnight noticed, and if I cannot find it I do not add it.

Place any sprite, I would recommend a unit sprite 2. - Select the sprite 3. - Right click and go to Properties or hit Enter 4. - Uncheck all boxes that are checked 5. - Check the 'Disabled' box 6. - In the box next to 'Sprite:' enter in the number of the sprite below 7. -
