[JASS] DoTransmissionBasicsXYBJ, SetCinematicScene

[Ner'zull]

So, what i need to do:
1) Play specific unit portrait;
2) Play specific sound;
3) Ping on minimap where specific unit is located;
4) There must be no text on screen when i do this.

Before current patch of war3, i used DoTransmissionBasicsXYBJ (or just default gui), and it worked. Now, it parses "(null)" on screen and at message log.
I decided to look into jass, found this function, and track it up to SetCinematicScene. I thought, i can find and re-create it (and removing that part with message), but so far i can't find anything about it.

Can any of you help me with this conundrum (or suggest any other way to make this work)?

Couldn't you just use " " (with a space) instead of an empty string? Or am I misunderstanding something?

It will parse " : " in that case.

I assume you don't want to the player's unit selection to change, right? Otherwise you could perhaps emulate this by selecting the unit whose portrait you want to show, and then deselecting it after.
Not sure what else you could do. You should maybe post this in the bug report thread.
