Screen Special Effects?

[HelloFlighty]

My map is a third person map, but i i'm wondering whether you can create special effects on the players screen, i want hit detectors, so as in, if the players unit gets damaged from behind i want an indicator to show that the damage source is behind them, is this possible?

You could use custom filters to directly add an image on your screen.

But dont forget that it messes up tooltips. As long as a filter is applied, tooltips are invisible for every player (even if you use GetLocalPlayer())

What about create image? or is that for regions?

EDIT: i've just had a look in the editor and you could use get local for this trigger couldn't you?

GetLocalPlayer() faq

You can use your mini map as radar. Make it completely black and ping for owner of damaged unit the side where the damage source is located. For example the unit hits you from the left side then ping the left side of minimap.
