I'm trying to create a Xel'Naga Tower in the middle of a melee map that offers vision to all players. Is there a way to do this without needing a unit to control the tower? Just have the tower offer vision to everyone? I'm not the greatest with this stuff regarding triggers and modifying units.
Alternatively if I could turn off Fog of War for a certain portion of the map and have it be visible to all players, that would be a perfectly acceptable alternative to modifying a unit.

DATA SOLUTION:
In unit flags there is a share vision flag although to make it share vision for all players might need to adjust some other settings as well.
TRIGGER SOLUTION:
In triggers its pretty easy to create a map revealer for all players through an integer loop.
Just make the unit use a create persistent effect to reveal an area like the scanner sweep of the orbital command.

I actually managed to do it with a region and a trigger. I appreciate the responses.
