Lightning effects that don't overlap units?

[BiweeklyAaro]

I'm trying to make a pentagram using lightning effects for one of my cinematics, but as the camera pans around the centre, the lightning is clearly showing through/on top of my unit in the centre.

Is there any way to make lightning effects not do this?

Thanks,

No, lightning effects always appear on top of everything (terrain, units, doodads...)

The only alternative would be to create your pentagram in a different way, eg. with lines of special effects.

That's a shame, I'll have to try some different things, hopefully it doesn't come to that.
