Heya. Basically I want to know how to change a unit's color in the same way that changing team color works. But without altering the unit's color on the minimap. I already know how to change its color via Events.
Setting its team color is perfect, but team color changes its color on the minimap. Setting its tint color doesn't change it on the minimap, but it tints the whole thing rather than just colors it like a team color.
Basically I just want a zergling to look like a red player zergling, but preserving its owner's minimap color. Is that possible?
(Not too important. I may just lock the color red and just make that player the red player anyway.)
An obvious workaround would be hiding the unit on the minimap (done in the unit or actor flags I believe) and attaching an invisible unit (as in moving it alongside the real unit), which is shown on the minimap. Obviously this is kind of dirty, but it should work as a last resort. I don't know of another method, though.
