HOW TO IMPORT
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

1.) You will need to export the minimap file. It can be found in the Import Manager (F12). Then Import it to your new map.

2.) Change the path of this file to war3mapMap.tga (Case sensitive) in your map

3.) Now that you have the minimap, you will need to copy the trigger titled RADAR. (TIP: Be sure you have "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data" checked in your world editor preferences. File -> Preferences ->General.)

4.) After the RADAR trigger has been imported you will need to copy the trigger titled Init. The Init trigger creates a unit (in this case the Tinker) for every player and sets it to the unit variable "Player Units".

5.) You're almost done, Now go into the "Advanced -> Game Interface" dialog in your map and change all of the Interface icons labled "Icon - Minimap" to "UI\Widgets\EscMenu\Human\blank-background.blp" (without the quotes)

6.) The last thing you need to do is open the Object Editor (F6) and edit the units used in your map so that they dont appear on the Minimap. To do this change this property "Stats - Hide Minimap Display" to true.

7.) Thats it, Save and test your map. You should now have a working Radar in place of your Minimap.

Enjoy!
