Remove minimap icon for building owned by neutral passive

[sethmachine]

Hi,

If I have a building owned by Neutral Passive, it shows the neutral building icon on the minimap.

Is there anyway to make it so it doesn't show this icon? There is a boolean field in buildings, but it only disables the icon in the map preview, and not in game.

True, that's only for the preloaded mini-map. Use Stats - Hide Minimap Display: True.

In the Object Editor, find your building and check the given: Stats - Hide Minimap Display: True. Otherwise you can simply make the building a unit, remove any ability to move.

genin32, that only works for the minimap in the map description, and not in game.

I suppose I'll make it a unit and see how it behaves.

This should help you, Object Editor > Neutral Building > Shows Minimap Icon = False

You don't have to make it a unit to hide it from the minimap. The field is available to both units and buildings.

Again this has been said many times, and I already did this as said in the OP.

Pharaoh, then how do I disable the icon in game?

Um? Havent you mistaken Stats - Hide Minimap Icon with Neutral Building - Show Minimap Icon - False. Because these are different buttons.

Wtf. Stats - Hide Minimap Icon works fine for me. It's (icon) shown in map preview and is hidden in game.
Alternatively, you can open Advanced -> Game Interface -> Icon - Minimap: Neutral field.
Fill this one with blank.blp file.

However, previous option, available in Object Editor should work just fine.

sethmachine* - I think that your War3 installation might be corrupted, because both of the object data options work fine.

Many thanks everyone! I apologize for my mistake. I was lazy and did not find that field ('uhom') my first few glances over the object editor. Everything should be working now!

Hiding unit on minimap no longer seems to work. Trying messing with any fields mentioning unit in Game Interface and haven't had any luck hiding/disabling unit icons on the minimap. May we ask if you've any ideas?
