[Trigger] Scaling Minimap....... Possible?

[Xesirin]

So I have a map where your camera is limited to the region you are in by using the set camera bounds action. Is it possible to scale the minimap so that the terrain renders properly, or do I gotta use images, and if so, how would I do that?

NOTE: I only have seven regions to which the camera might be limited, that might be relevant.

Umm, I do not believe that it is possible.

What you could do if you have only seven regions is make a custom mini-map image for each of these. Then whenever mini-map is limited to that region change image to that image.

Have you even tested the set camera bounds

I have.

That's kind of what I figured I'd have to do. Does anybody have a sample trigger I could use for this purpose? I've never once used images and am very confused as to how that would be done. I'd prefer GUI but if it HAS TO be done in JASS I can live with that, I have programming experience, I'll transpose.

I think it is possible ..
Xesirin, the function you want, isn't it something like the uther party maps?

I have never played those.

I think it is, doesn't they have a "minimap" for each minigame?

Try it, so we know if that's what you're after.

The black minimap is fine, I would just like it if SOMEONE could PLEASE post a sample or something, the map is not open-source.

Black minimaps are easy, owing to them just being black. I think any non-image file imported over the minimap (can't remember the file path off-hand) will give black; if that bugs or something, just use a single black pixel or something.
