[Trigger] Camera Bounds

[shinji]

I'm using this trigger.

• Camera - Set the camera bounds for Player 1 (Red) to Region 000 <gen>

Is there any custom script or something that changes the mini map scale when I use this? Also sometimes it doesn't work properly. Any solutions?

The minimap image can't be changed ingame unfortunately, hence why most maps which play with camera bounds a lot use a blank minimap.

Then have a new question. How to make a Minimap blank?

 

[PurplePoot]

Import a 128x128 image called war3mapMap.blp. Most people use a black square for this purpose, although you could make it a generic image or something if you'd like.

Thanks. By the way, how big will the black Minimap be?

 

[PurplePoot]

The image should be 128x128 no matter what its content is, and should be in the BLP file format (although TGA might work too, I can't remember).

Just for the sake of knowledge, view this pic to get more information on camera and map bounds.

Oh. I meant the file size. Maybe 50kb?

I don't know, certainly <100kb, and probably very small depending on how BLPs handle compression.

Thank you.

@Starquizer

Thank you.

What???? I get a critical error when I import the .blp and start the game....

EDIT: The image has to be 256x256 not 128x128...

Oh whoops, I guess I had it confused with war3mapPreview.

It's ok. Thank you.
