Important Question! Need a solution...

You know the Medic's Optical Flare right? Of corse you do! It blinds whatever unit it is used on and I need to know if there is a way to Blind units without using a medic!

You see, the Spell Caster (Hero Overlord unit) for three of my Heros are right near an area that I don't what them to see. Yes, I could move them somewhere else, but I'm not going to!

So I want them to be blind. How do I achieve this? I've played a few maps that have Blind units, but I'm not sure if they use a medic to blind them or found some uber way to do it without the use of a medic.

Try the properties of the unit?

I did check the properties, in X-tra. I've clicked and checked everything in X-tra but the unit does not start out Blind, nor go blind, and I waited over 20 minutes just watching the damn thing!

I've clicked and checked everything in StarForge, same result!

There must be a way! Someone Somewhere must know a way!

Have a medic only have the ability Optic Flare enabled and then do this in the beginning of a game when nobody sees the medic doing it. Have the medic be a computer optic flaring another computer. Then give the "overlord" to the human player.
It should work. Don't need to use AI, just have the computer be enemies with the other computer.

Never mind, I'm not going to have them blind, I've come up with a better method.

I just wish that when you use Turn Off Vision it does it from the very start of the map instead of 1-2 seconds after the map has started! Even with the hyper trigger!
