Re: StarCraft, Flag Beacons, Placing COP Countdown Removal?

I wanted to add that it is possible to do this. I have seen a map that replaces the "Just Placed COP" with bunkers and random men. It had the picture of an anime character on the mini-map and it was a defense game. I cannot find this map in my downloads. It was so long ago I probably don't have it anymore. I doubt having the map would make a difference since it would most likely be protected. I'm still taking any chance I find to make this possible and still asking for your help to solve this obsticle in my way to finishing, what I think to be my best and final map for Brood War I will make. I use my account B(o)(o)BS to trademark my maps and have seen people hosting my maps before. Hopfully will see it happen again with this new one.
I have found at Starcraft.org - The Number One Source For All Things Starcraft this help.

"How do you create a beacon that players are allowed to relocate?

The Flag Beacons (Terran Flag Beacon, Zerg Flag Beacon, Protoss Flag Beacon) are all special because they can all be relocated to any point on the map by the player. After these flag beacons are moved to a new location, or ten minutes after they are created, the flag beacons can no longer be moved. If you want the player to always be able to move the flag beacon, you will need to have triggers to recreate the flag beacons when they are moved out of place, or when ten minutes since their creation is over."

Kinda sounds like "THE" answer I was looking for... I have said already that I do replace my Flag Beacons whenever someone wants to but it still ends 10 minutes into the game. Either the person that wrote that on Starcraft.org - The Number One Source For All Things Starcraft doesn't really know or they patched that which would make it a dead end for me.
