How do you make 2 maps into one?

[map maker #2]

In a game I played (water wars submerged) you use a ability called submerge and the terrain completly changes to a under water setting. When you hit the surface button it goes back to the surface map and it is a multi player game. so I was wondering if anyone knows how to do it that way or a different way

it would take a hell lot of scripts to do that

well, I'm not sure if this will work. But in water wars submerged i think (haven't played yet) it's only 1 map, with 2 regions an a lot of free space around.

You would pretty much have 2 areas in your map. the above water area and the underwater area. Just note that this would be astronomically hard to trigger if you wanted the unit's possition to move aobve ground when it's underwater (its position) and vice versa.

I thought the map called Age Of Technology had that, try to search in it.

Look at the picture I've attached:
Let's say the green area is the "Above-Water"-Part of the map and the blue area is the underwarter-part.

Now if a unit uses the submerge-ability, it just has to be moved/teleported in the Y-axis direction and by Z grid units. And Z ist just the half of your map's total size (displayed by the red arrow). Of course you should also check, wheter the unit is in a diveable water area..

A slowly falling to the ground then could turn out to get a bit harder.. not sure.

That wouldn't be very hard (the moving part) now that sum1 explains it clearly -.-

But detecting divable areas might be a b*tch.

best hint u can get -- it works like uther's party that map also had tons of minigames and each game set the map to a small area and u couldnt leave it with camera. Try searching this think its not protected and it might be very easy -- think i took a look at it ages ago didnt seem so hard but cant remeber how it was made
