How to do so the minimap image becomes black in this abillity?

• Obscuro Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Obscuro
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellTargetUnit()) then
    • Cinematic - Fade out over 0.25 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    • Wait (2.50 + (2.50 + (Real((Level of Obscuro for (Triggering unit)))))) seconds
    • Cinematic - Fade in over 0.25 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    • Custom script: endif

I think you should do:

• Visibility - Enable Black Mast
• Visibility - Enable Fog of War

But you have to remember that it will remove every sight you have seen so far,,

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

yes, and I don't want that to happend

Something went wrong, I cant test my map... Something about the second action...

 

[Super-Sheep]

You cant change minimap during game.

And if you cant test the map, you prolly have something wrong in custom scripts.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Like I said, the second 1...

 

[Super-Sheep]

Whate the error says... it often shows like ''unexpected command'' or something.

 

[Element of Water]

Ok sorry about that, syntax error, should work now. BTW I also fixed a leak - I never destroyed the visibility modifier.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

The minimapimage doesn't turn black... Whats wrong now? Or is it like Super-Sheep said, it can't be done?

 

[Element of Water]

It can be done, I must have got something wrong... play around with visibility modifiers - they're what I used, just I used the Jass version instead.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Ok, thanks anyway. But can't you do so the whole screens becomes black instead, like in some cinematics?

 

[Super-Sheep]

• Cinematic - Fade out over 0.25 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency

Thats how its done in cinematics..

 

[Element of Water]

Ah good idea, you could use this action:

• Cinematic - Turn on letterbox mode (hide interface) for (All players): fade out over 0.25 seconds

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

And if it's only for the owner of the picked hero? Pllz add it to the trigger in your post above!

 

[Element of Water]

Trigger above edited.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

One last thing, how to remove the dialog thing, so the screen is just totally black? (edit in the trigger above).

 

[Super-Sheep]

Turn off letterbox I guess?

Dialog thing???

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Turn off letterbox I guess?

Maybe it's called that

The screen shall just be totally black...

 

[Super-Sheep]

You have to modify cinematic borders and set them to be black then.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Yes, but I have never done anything like that I asked for some1 to change it in the trigger above...

 

[Element of Water]

I don't think it's possible with triggers - you have to edit the UI I think.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

And what is UI? Or is it any other way you can do so the screen wents totally black?

 

[Element of Water]

Nope, don't think so. The UI is the "user interface". Basically everything you see on screen apart from the actual 3D game, minimap, unit stats, inventory items and abilities is part of the UI.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Can u show me how to edit the UI?

 

[Element of Water]

Erm... I'm not sure... you'll have to ask someone else. I just know it involves importing lots of images and overwriting the game's images with them...

 

[Super-Sheep]

Googling is so hard.
