Reveal Area?, is it possible on TD? Options

[Warlord]

I was just wondering, can you make a certain area on the map reveal itself when you enter a celltrigger, if so how? I didn't see any reveal action

Flare, no? Can be used only once, though...

correct. A DropZone Flare is the only way to reveal an area and is always the waypoint number 25, so you can only use it on one position.
Name: dzne (up to you but often used is this shortcut)
Event: Player Enters (if you want to use celltriggers, the cells name must be dzne)
Action: DZ at 'Z' (the dropzone action)
Player: GoodGuy/BadGuy (must match the players house, else it won't reveal the map)
Teamtype: None

A little workaround and without the possibility to make it happen at a certain time, is placing a player unit with 1 hitpoint near an enemy unit. So at the start of the map the player unit gets killed but reveals a certain area. If you don't use reinforcements you can also make the unit come out on a certain point of the map and this way reveal an area.
I already tried to do this with units of an allied house, but they don't reveal the map for the player.
