Can items' shadow be removed? / How to make a map bigger than 256x256

[Argutaris]

Hello. I am realy new to this stuff and i have some questions. =]

How can i remove the shadow from items, if i can?

Is it possible to create a bigger man then 256, or to merge another map into. Like a trigger or something, when you enter a portal or region your unit/units get moved to another map?

1-Look at that item in object manager and look for shadow
Make shadow type none if there is a shadow type or make sizes 1

2- As I remember with Jass NewGen Pack you can make maps bigger
going to another map isOnly in single player
get a mpq browser export some campaign maps and see how its done

3- welcome to The Hiveworkshop

It appears to not be there. Perhaps that only works for units / doodads / destructibles.

And if you look closely you can see why. Items do not have shadows. No matter what model you use for it.

You could possibly use a trigger like this:

• Go to New Map
  • Events
    • Unit - When a unit enters (Region)
  • Conditions
    • (Entering Unit) Equal to Hero
  • Actions
    • Game - Set the next level to Maps\YourMap.w3x
    • Game - Victory (Picked Player) (Skip Dialogs, Skip Scores)

Unfortunatley I do not know how to save your characters / entire map progression.. You could porbably use Game Caches but I do not know how to use those.

Thanks. One more question. I made a 50x50 little map, how can move it all with triggers regions units doodads etc to my 256x map? Or this is impossible?

Go to map options where you also can change the in-game map and go to camera bounds. Mark the boxes in the buttom left and resize your map in the same window. Or you can use the export data function with the object- and trigger editor to export data and import it with the import data function to have it in your other map (I believe you can't transfer your map).

Well you can make it give all units inside region permanent invisibility
and remove after leave

or just make dummies cast 1 second invisibility every second
