Why do you want to?
You can do it by alpha out the footorints in the terrain?

There's a few ways to get at this. You can alter the model itself so that it doesn't casue footprints (they are event objects at the end of the mdl). You can alter the slk (can't remember which one) that governs which footprints (if any) a given unit creates. You can alter the splat.slk file (not the exact name) that controls which graphics a given type of footprint creates. Finally, you can probably dummy out the footprint blp. I'm not sure which way is the fastest/easiest, but I have afeeling that ALL of those are doable.

Thx for the reply, Ari your way sounds complicated and Im not too smart. The other guys sounds promising but wat the heck are you talking about so I can just fix this in the map editor? All I know how to do is work with the editor and ability edit.

I think the easiest way is just to set movement to "hover"

You could make his movement type "Fly" then set his fly height to 0. I think hover would make flying footprints.

The lich doesnt use foot prints, nor does the wisp, both have hover.

yes, but they don't produce footprints anyway. He's talking about units that normally produce footprints.
