Cave "Blackout" effect

[Arlach]

I was wondering how to do the really dark effect like seen in caves on some maps.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Use this:

• Custom script: call SetDayNightModels ("","")

in the Map initialization.

What does that do.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Blacks out the terrain (and the units, most likely).

 

[drdgvhbh]

So it pretty much blackouts the minimap?

 

[Pharaoh_]

I said terrain, not minimap

 

[neku99]

so basically you wont see anything? Ok I have a question: Is it possible to only black out parts of the map?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Nop; unless you want to use "Regional fog" system, but, instead of a fog to black out the terrain with the custom script I showed you. If you have some knowledge of Jass, here: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=106736

Well no I have no knowledge of jass not yet actually I'm still pretty confused with jass syntax. But anyway I just found out that you can the that script and manually put lighting models in the map. Well actually I don't know if that was what I read but yeah.

EDIT: Lol didn't work
