Hide minimap information? and: Multiple attack objectives?

[Glevion]

I have a question. In my map when the cinematic ends it shows all the information on the map , the creeps too, and i want it to be hidden, not shown for all players. So, the player have to explore it.

And another question: Is it possible to order something to attack "X" and then, another action to attack "Y"? I explain:

• Actions
  • Unit - Order Paladin 0016 <gen> to Attack Cage 1180 <gen>
  • Unit - Order Paladin 0016 <gen> to Attack Cage 1179 <gen>
  • Unit - Order Paladin 0016 <gen> to Attack Cage 1178 <gen>

I want to the paladin to attack Cage 1180 and when it's died, attack cage 1179 and when its died, 1178. Is it possible ?

B.)
No, it does not work the way you show.

It would work with an If/Then/Else with If checking if the cage is alive and Then the order to attack it, Else another If/Then/Else with If checking if the second cage is alive and so on.

• Game - Hide creep camps on the minimap

Thanks for the first question. But, will it only hide creep camps? When i start the game i want the minimap to only show the starting part, and the cinematic shows a further one.

Now for the second. Mine isn't working :S?

• Actions
  • Unit - Order Paladin 0016 <gen> to Attack Cage 1243 <gen>
  • If (Cage 1243 <gen> Equal to (Dying destructible)) then do (Unit - Order Paladin 0016 <gen> to Attack Cage 1180 <gen>) else do (Do nothing)
  • If (Cage 1180 <gen> Equal to (Dying destructible)) then do (Unit - Order Paladin 0016 <gen> to Attack Cage 1179 <gen>) else do (Do nothing)
  • If (Cage 1179 <gen> Equal to (Dying destructible)) then do (Unit - Order Paladin 0016 <gen> to Attack Cage 1178 <gen>) else do (Do nothing)

He destroys the first one and then he doesnt do anything.

Go to Scenario -> Map Options.
Remove the check from "masked areas are partially visible".

And for hide in the minimap something that has already been seen in the starting cinematic?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Are you explicitly revealing the map during the cinematic triggers? Or is it being implicitly revealed by one of the cinematic actions?

I would recommend looking at how the campaigns do cinematics. They do so in a way they do not reveal the entire map when they end.

If you want to use cinematic mode while not revealing entire map for others use Letterbox mode.

• Cinematic - Turn on letterbox mode (hide interface) for (All players): fade out over 2.00 seconds

For the second one:

• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • 'IF'-Conditions
      • (Cage 1243 is alive) Equal True
    • 'THEN'-Actions
      • Unit - Order Paladin 0016 to Attack Cage 1243
    • 'ELSE'-Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • 'IF'-Conditions
          • (Cage 1180 is alive) Equal True
        • 'THEN'-Actions
          • Unit - Order Paladin 0016 to Attack Cage 1180
        • 'ELSE'-Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • 'IF'-Conditions
              • (Cage 1179 is alive) Equal True
            • 'THEN'-Actions
              • Unit - Order Paladin 0016 to Attack Cage 1179
            • 'ELSE'-Actions
              • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                • 'IF'-Conditions
                  • (Cage 1178 is alive) Equal True
                • 'THEN'-Actions
                  • Unit - Order Paladin 0016 to Attack Cage 1178
                • 'ELSE'-Actions

You also need a periodic check as event if you use this solution:

• Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time

-----

Another approach could be to write several triggers with the event of the previous cage being destroyed.

Example:

• Event
  • Destructible - Cage 1243 dies
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Order Paladin 0016 to Attack Cage 1180

But, the disadvantage would be that you have to write several triggers for every cage.

To solve this, index the cages and set a variable.

-> Trigger 1

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set CinematicCage[1] = Cage 1243
    • Set CinematicCage[2] = Cage 1180
    • Set CinematicCage[3] = Cage 1179
    • Set CinematicCage[4] = Cage 1178

Trigger 2

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal CinematicCage[CinematicIndex]
  • Actions
    • Set CinematicIndex = (CinematicIndex + 1)
    • Unit - Order Paladin0016 to Attack CinematicCage[CinematicIndex]
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • 'IF'-Conditions
        • CinematicIndex Equal 4
      • 'THEN'-Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • 'ELSE'-Actions

CinematicCage[1] is a unit variable with an array
CinematicIndex is an integer variable

For this better solution the cages have to be units, not destructible.
