Minimap Vision

[Ninja_Duels]

Hello Hive,

How do I make it possible to see units at minimap - but still dont got vision on it?

 

[Etzer]

Ping it?

 

[Ninja_Duels]

No, I mean u can see at the minimap where the unit move allround, but u cant see the unit.

 

[Etzer]

Then you should ping it, i don't really know how else.

 

[Ninja_Duels]

I just think ive seen it in some other maps, but well ping is better than noting.

maybe with a real small radius of sight ( 16 ). ( This size doesnt make the unit visible, but .. perhaps, visible on the minimap)

 

[Ninja_Duels]

Hmm I dont rly think so but I will give it a try

 

[blacksheepwalll]

an example of this would be in dota
strygwyrs blood thirst and invisible units

im not sure myself but
the best way i can think of is creating a dummy unit with vision and minimap icon and make it follow the one you want to see

edit: well i just read it again and i know what you mean and yea... this isnt what you want

What is he actually wants ?

What is he actually wants ?

Well, he wants to see units in minimap without see it (Vision). I don't think it's possible

 

[defskull]

He wanted a round dot on mini-map WITHOUT appearing the vision of the unit itself?
Pinging IS the BEST way to get this done

 

[blacksheepwalll]

yea i tried some ways but none worked i think pinging is the only way

What is pinging because i have the same problem , so i can solve it?

When you press ALT + G and click the minimap INGAME, that's a ping, a kind of alert at some point of the minimap.

I'm creating a system for it at the moment.
You cannot see the units on the minimap, but you can see them through the fog as an indicator (okay, I admit it: I got the idea from starcraft >_>).

There is still a little bug which I need to take care off, but it's nearly done (I'm posting this so I remember to work on it, since I gotta go now ).
