@Sirrace: Go It's no simple task to add shield visual effects. There's a lot of data related to it, if you search for custom shield visuals or something like that you will find something.
There are no models for the effect you want. Protoss shields have unique models that are created when a protoss unit is hit, but you don't have those for the DM. You could probably create those or edit the protoss ones though.
If you want to go find how shield effects work I recommend searching the actors for the protoss shields, how the protoss units' are set up and so on.
Good luck.

Hi Guys,
After searching through the 5 pages of results and performing numerous tests in the Galaxy editor, I still have this question unanswered:
Does the Defensive Matrix for a Battlecruiser have a way of showing impact hits? I see no model or actors associated. When a Battlecruiser has the Defensive Matrix active, missiles and attacks do not actually cause any visual shield impact effects to happen when the Battlecruiser is fired upon. Furthermore, all attacks made against the Battlecruiser with a Defensive Matrix actually hit the Battlecruiser itself, rather than the Defensive Matrix, taking away from the authenticity of the shield. Same for Tosh's Psi Shield.
Any thoughts? I'm working on some solutions but would appreciate anyone's input. Thanks.
