I've been working on a custom map for some time now and I've run into several unsolvable issues.
1. Scanner Sweep has refused to work without me changing it in any way. It creates the circling animation in the area, but it is not revealed. This ability is vital to my map.
2. Buildings build instantly despite them having a build time. SCV builds Drakken Laser Drills and Point Defense Drones instantly.
3. On an upgrade and a build building icon the cost is not displayed, but it is still charged for. Not really an issue, but not knowing how much something costs is somewhat annoying. On the upgrade multiple units have it, but on one specific unit the cost is not displayed.
1: That sounds strange. Do you just straight up use the default scanner sweep from the orbital command or do you use the default ability but under special circumstances, which might play a role?
2: Are you sure, it is finished instantly? By default, those units do not use a construction animation, maybe they are in construction, but look like they are already finished.
3: So you have the same upgrade on multiple units, but on some units it displays the costs, and on others it doesn't? Whats the difference between those units?
1: Yes its the default Orbital Command Scanner Sweep. [Edit: the ability has been working for a while, but suddenly it just refused to work]
2: The buildings are usuable and finish instantly.
3. Its an upgrade that doubles energy regen. It is used by three heros and the Planetary Fortress. Zeratul is the hero that the cost is not displayed. Also, a building's build icon does not display the cost.

In this case, would you mind uploading the map, so people could have a look, what you did?
With the Scanner Sweep ability, i've gone in and checked. The box for unfog is checked but it still refuses to work.
Do the buildings have a Buildable ability?

Oh, i forgot to add the "Build in Progress ability" to the two buildings.
Thats one of my problems solved.
Edit: Ok the Galaxy Editor has been really glitchy lately and has been acting weird. All of the sudden Scanner Sweep works again.
With the last problem check the ability for display costs.

Ok, its working now.
Thank you, now all those problems are solved.
The editor has been really glitchy lately though.
