Minimap Icons

[Kaizer]

Hello there hive!

I just thought of a new idea (not sure if new)
Is it possible to have a certain icon on the minimap to be shown all the times pointing where the hero is? And when the hero dies it is covered with transparent gray.

Hi, you can change hero's icon on minimap by a custom model via interface settings. ( Icon - Minimap heroes)

If the hero dies it'll fade itself, so you have to make a trigger for this. (Might be possible, as i only use GUI i didn't find how to )
Maybe changing another icon model, like gold's one, and creat a dummy unit using this model where the hero dies ?

You could try pinging the hero's position.

Untitled Trigger 001 Events Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time Conditions Actions Set u = Blood Mage 0000 <gen> Set point = (Position of u) Set pgrp = (Player group((Owner of u))) If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (u is alive) Equal to True Then - Actions Cinematic - Ping minimap for pgrp at point for 0.30 seconds, using a Simple ping of color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) Else - Actions Cinematic - Ping minimap for pgrp at point for 0.30 seconds, using a Simple ping of color (75.00%, 75.00%, 75.00%) Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point) Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_pgrp) Custom script: set udg_point = null Custom script: set udg_pgrp = null

Thanks for the suggestion man, but I'm not of a triggerer myself so I don't know how to do something complicated

The trigger

Untitled Trigger 001 Events Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time Conditions Actions Set u = Blood Mage 0000 <gen> Set point = (Position of u) Set pgrp = (Player group((Owner of u))) If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (u is alive) Equal to True Then - Actions Cinematic - Ping minimap for pgrp at point for 0.30 seconds, using a Simple ping of color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) Else - Actions Cinematic - Ping minimap for pgrp at point for 0.30 seconds, using a Simple ping of color (75.00%, 75.00%, 75.00%) Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point) Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_pgrp) Custom script: set udg_point = null Custom script: set udg_pgrp = null

I can see the point of your trigger but I have one question, wouldn't it lag? Because every 1 second it is pinging. And what if there are let's say 3 heroes using that method, will it lag?

My question is noise. Is this a silent ping or an annoying one like in game?

 

[Kaizer]

oh yeah, good question

simple ping is silent.
