minimap

[Klann]

is there a way to change the minimap something like a radar?

i only nid the circle part. could it be that every time the line hits the position of the enemy it appears in the radar/minimap and after 5 sec or so it dissapears. is it possible?

You can only change the minimap image to a static image, by importing it under specific name (I think it's war3mapMap.blp)
I did a radar like this once. I disabled minimap display of all units in map, aside from a special, invisible, dummy unit. Then I created a line of these units and rotated it around the center of the map. All "detected" units were displayed using pings. That's the only way I could think of.

You should know, changing minimaps can cause bugs in teh minimap =)
I mean, the positioning of units can be bugged.
