Not sure if this has been brought up yet...

Fast forward to 28:30 to avoid my shitty play.
Basically end of the game, he's got a mothership, a nexus, some pylons, and some cannons.
I kill the nexus, and he's using his mothership to cloak his cannons. Then i get the message "x player is being revealed" (since he has no nexus). This reveals his cloaked pylons and cannons. (I was very confused as to why i could see his pylons at first)
I guess it's technically not a bug, but i really don't see why the mothership shouldn't still be cloaking them.

Might have something to do with that campaign mission were the Nexus powers the Mothership's shields.
|
I didn't know about that. Good to know.
|
It reveals cloaked units because of Creep Tumors I'm sure.
|
It sounds fair enough to me, he's being revealed, so he should be revealed really
If they want the cloaking ability back, then they ought to build another nexus
|
The cloaking without a nexus is planned for the protoss expansion.

Creep tumors don't need to be killed to win via elimination, and I'm not even sure that they become revealed like buildings.
As for the main issue, I'm not sure this is a bug. I can't imagine it ever really mattering - it's not like using a mothership to cloak your last building would be useful in almost any situation, and even if you could it doesn't compare to what terran can do.

I guess this is in here so you can't hide a proxy pylon with a mother ship and not be revealed.
|
In my opinion the buildings should be revealed on the minimap but still be cloaked.

Exactly. This is to prevent stalling the game when it's a base race.
Like if you were in a PvP and 1 has a mothership hovering over some pylons and the other just has a few pylons and DT's.
Both wouldn't be able to do anything since the DT's will kill the pylons quick thus ending the game but if you tried to just stall the game with mothership cloaking the pylons it would mean it would end in a draw unless the building is revealed. Thus when nexus is destroyed it shows all buildings on the map which is in my opinion intended by Blizzard to prevent stalling games like I just mentioned so cloaked units can see cloaked buildings by the mothershi.

Does it reveal cloaked units under the mothership as well?

doubt it. but you can always test this.

When you are "revealed" after you lose your town hall it's just your buildings.
