Modifying a unit on creation?

Is there a possibility to modify aspects of a unit during that unit's creation (in the scenario.cfg), in a similar way you can add abilities?

Last post

You need to store unit at first (with variable=stored_unit and kill=yes).

Later once its stored it would be something like:

{VARIABLE_OP stored_unit.vision_costs.shallow_water value 1}

At the end unstore unit with variable=stored_unit.

That sucks.

I actually don't mind that they are visible, more so how they are visible. I use some fire halo to have animated fires, but it just looks weird in the fog because they standout so much with their bright flames compared to the grey surroundings. So ideally, the best outcome would be if...
