My notices:
1) Visibility bug - you place <Visible val="false"/> to the frame (example - minimap frame in GameUI.sc2layout ) and frame still visible try to add this string to child frames of your frame.
for hiding minimap i had to add <Visible val="false"/> to GameUI.sc2layout minimap frame
and after:
i still tryin figure out how to hide frames more easy and why minimap hides only if you hide these frames
2) You dont need to remove the old SC2Layout files to avoid update bug
This bug caused when you Import the new SC2Layout files and do not save map! - you press Test Map and this is moment where your new SC2Layout file gets replaces back by old SC2Layout file
so to avoid this bug you can replace - but always save immediate after replacing

With that said I came up with another way to do it. I'll replace my existing lava with flat land. Then I'll draw regions to represent where I want lava. Then, within those regions, I'll use a red-hued texture that can make a convincing lava base. Then I'll use the Lava Flare and related doodads to make it look like a patch of old, half-cooled lava into which fresh lava is flowing. Then I can simply use the trigger pattern I worked out on my own
that is the best and optimized way - make regions and then create lava by them
my idea is for lazy people like me, it eats more system resources and network traffic, but allows you freely paint the lava landscape
just be sure to make Possibly Lava region so small, how can u make it
But if i have custom UI, i need to order unit use target ability by triggers.. And thats where is my problem - if its ability with target (especially if its AoE target ability) - i cant order unit use this ability, cuz i have no target.
So what you think about - how to make player enter target mode if you have custom UI?
Maybe i make a map with this system this evening
basic idea - you create landscape, fill it with lava and say to the Lava System height of the lava. Also u create regions around lava
and then, every mmm 1 second oh the game you check units in these regions - is they really stands on lava (their height < lava height)
about flying units - same - you check - is the ground point under them on lava? If yes - damage them
this system is more expensive that your (cuz of every second) but it makes you create any landscapes with lava without need create regions that strictly say "this is lava"
you create regions that say "probably lava near you maybe uhhh"
In my map i first draw texture, then draw region and after that - corrected texture and lava level to region
differintiating can be used by unit heights
(idea) and also lava can be differentiated bu ground heights
example - i create sharp rough regions where lava probably should be
and then when i need to check - is this point on the lava? i simple get ground point height and checks the lava height
i can make you a map if u wanna, this evening

Erm, did you see mutalisk on my map? In my trigger theres already damahing effrct - you can it by yours or call your custom action

Just make attachment points to them and add later via actors
or ehm, check battlecruiser

Thats exactly what i need, thx man

(sry multipost) may be anyone already developed such system?

Ty, i think in the same direction. But then i just repeat what blizz done - may be there's a better solution than develop own target ability system?

Yes, they promise about it (In Q&A batch), but now there is no way to check it

No, blizz add this later currently in 1.20 beta galaxy editor you cant get tile :sarcasm:

Searched forums like mad and no answer I have custom UI I have custom ability that needs target (currently its jsut simple stalker blink)
i suppose there no normal way to enter targeting mode (♥ blizz) so what systems you guys saw or thought about?

@mihai14 so what about wait condition network traffic?
