how can i control the size of mini map?

[sierentear]

I tried to use tigger "Set Camera Bound" . However, it does not effect mini-map.

I want to make a mini-map which only shows the area i want.

Can anyone help me please?

for that you will probbaly have to import custom made mini map. othewise i thik this is not posible, because it always shows the full mini map and the yellow stripes shows you the area you are currently looking at.

idiot is right. Btw, do u espect to change the UI's size?

I want to do exactly what eota does (shrink what the minimap displays )

My map contain more then 3 modes, which requires different part of the map. I don't want players to see the part of the map which they dont need to.

please help me, thank you ^_^

use black mask or visibility modifier on the map instead
with them, you'll be able to hide parts of map

i think sierentear needs a minimap image, that masks the regions, I'm right? Like the sw dogfight, or any of em?

Set Camera Bounds affect the minimap and its the onlyway
well its not perfect but I think games you are talking about uses this way

 

[sierentear]

camera bound only effect the SIZE of the mini map, however, it doesnt effect the BACKGROUNd

i wants it so that at the very beginning of the game, the minimap shows all 256x256 (for example) of the map. Players choose mode #1, and they go to a 64x64 area of the map. You can only scroll in that 64x64 area, and the minimap can only show the 64x64 area.

This is completely possible. If you need proof, play EotA (Eve of the Apocolypse).

well-- if i can change the back ground picture IN the game, it might works as well

please help me thank you

it Affects the back ground... (I used it). if you need proof, ask to some pro
