[Solved] Possible to zoom into Minimap via Trigger?

[Bloodheaven_]

Hey there,

there is an function called:

Camera - Set camera bounds for Player to Region

is there a way to actually zoom into the minimap or out via trigger?

Spoiler: Example

Let's say the whole Minimap is Area1+2+3+4. Now I want to only have the Area 2 to be seen from the whole Minimap. Yes of course with the function I mentioned I can shrink it into the Area2 but the Minimap just looks ugly because it still displays all the Areas regardless if zoomed in or out and the propositions are messed up. I'm talking about the Minimap bottom left not the FOV zone.

If anyone could help me, that would be so awesome.

I do not believe so.

There is a new native for this Tasyen posted below.

I THINK you can use the UI natives to make a frame with an image overlap the minimap, then set camera bounds to make the size correct. Just make sure you have the proper minimap .blp or .tga images imported.

I'm sure @Tasyen can confirm or deny my theory.

@Pyrogasm that was the Idea that I actually had. I saw @Tasyen Threads about Custom UI and his showcase Map, the only problem I face is that, this UI would overlap the minimap and not showing buildings & units on the new Image. Is there a way to make the normal minimap just black and still showing all buildings & units? Then I just could Set the UI-Alpha to a specific value to still show the buildings & units.

And there is still a problem, when I try to copy the code from his Map to mine, his script and folder and his imported assets it would give me a error like this one:

You can import a file to overwrite the minimap image. I’m entirely unsure if it supports an alpha channel but perhaps it can. Try!

Blizzard provided a native to set the minimap image, if that works for that case you won't need frames.
native BlzChangeMinimapTerrainTex takes string texFile returns boolean

How would the custom script trigger look if I wanted to do this for an image called example.blp?

Thats what I wanted to ask right now too, I'm trying to figure out what I have to put in these lines but no success.

You need images of 256x256 then use

call BlzChangeMinimapTerrainTex("war3mapImported\\example.blp")

You're a beast! This is exactly what I looked for, this will help me alot for my current Project! Thanks alot!

Works like a charm.

Here's an example map for anyone who are still confused about how to do this. Type 1 or 2 to change between minimaps.
