[Bug?] Dead reaper scraps giving sight on ledge!

[Hydropillow]

Case:
Group of Reapers try to jump off ledge while chased by Lings.
One reaper dies on the ledge, others jump off.
Consequently, the Reapers are able to shoot on the ledge, killing the Lings.

I assume, that the dead body of the reaper gives vision for a limited time.
The bits and scraps of the Reaper seem to provide the vision in the area where they are divided.

Take a look here, see it in Terran vision and All vision:

Please tell me what you think

Depends where it was shot. On the high ground, the low ground, or right on the ledge? I think right on the ledge would qualify as high ground.

OK I watched the vid, that guy was clearly killed on the high ground or on the very edge of the ledge. Certainly has nothing to do with the scraps.

So a dead body gives longer vision then the ones jumping off the ledge...?
I don't get it really.

Reapers shouldn't be able to shoot on the ledge after they have jumped off...

No, as in SC1 and any Blizzard RTS, dead units leave a small patch of vision for a short while after they die. If you look carefully, you can see the vision disappears right before you jump on the cliff again. Usually you're probably not going to notice this because the rest of your units are still alive and running away or killing the remainder of your opponent's army, so it's not noticeable. If your army gets wiped out, this vision can give your hints on where your opponent is headed next.

PS: I'm a replay jockey so can someone who plays the game and knows what he's doing back this up? I'm just basing this on my experience with other Blizzard RTS games.

Your statement makes sense to me, and I should have known... you always have some kind of vision after a unit dies... Just in this situation it felt wrong to me. My bad ^^

Thanks for clearing this up, if I had a spare beta key you would have earned it
