As you want a visual try a visual only solution. Use a Query Region actor like the colossus treee killer.

Considered easy altering of the unit textures?

No, actually what I want is a buff that applies to Terran buildings so that when creep reaches the unit radius the buildings can no longer use lift-off abilities.
So I tried to make a hybrid out of the fungal's movement and burrow supressal behaviour with some of the effects and behaviors of the ownership changer buffs but as expected didn't work out.
You don't need any effects. Give the all Terran buildings a Buff behavior that has the On Creep validator in the Behavior - Validator Disable field and then make under modifications disable all the liftoff abilities used by all the buildings.

So I don't need to set up a target before-hand? Just give the buff behavior to all terran buildings?
Yeah, you shouldn't need to do any targeting as long as you manually add the behavior to all the buildings.
Awesome! thanks spool.
Edit: BTW any way I can get my hands on those new visual effects, that'll be coming out in HotS, before launch? specifically the creep one would be perfect lol. :P
BUMP
Just a small matter left, the icon I've used for the buff status appears before creep arrives to the units radius, and even after creep dissapears from the surroundings the status Icon is still stuck on the UI, what fields should I change to fix this?
darthuser3220 Regular ShmoeNeed some help with this one, tried using both a search buff behaviour and the main buff behaviour itself, in combination with the On Creep, Target On Creep Validators but I still can't manage.
If someone would be as kind as to show me an example in written or saved map file format I will very much appreciate it.
