I've got it working like so. Create a new custom script file in the Trigger Editor (Control + U) and add this code to it:

function HideMinimapForPlayer takes player p returns nothing
if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
    call BlzFrameSetVisible(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_MINIMAP, 0), false)
endif
endfunction

function ShowMinimapForPlayer takes player p returns nothing
if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
    call BlzFrameSetVisible(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_MINIMAP, 0), true)
endif
endfunction

Make sure JassHelper is enabled (look at the top window of the Trigger Editor and you'll see a menu for it).

Then you can run these functions in your triggers:

• Actions
  • Set Variable MinimapPlayer = (some player)
  • Custom script: call HideMinimapForPlayer(udg_MinimapPlayer)
  • Wait 10.00 game-time seconds
  • Set Variable MinimapPlayer = (some player)
  • Custom script: call ShowMinimapForPlayer(udg_MinimapPlayer)

Thanks but is there any way without using jass ? Only using pure triggers ?

No, but that's why I made it easy to use. Look at my trigger example, it's 100% certified trigger

You don't need to touch the code.

Provided trigger uses JASS. If you are using Lua you will need to port it to Lua first.

Also requires newer versions of Warcraft III with UI native support. Legacy versions might be lacking those natives.

Traditionally (long long ago) the way to kind of do what you want was to import a blank minimap image and then dynamically set map camera bounds so that the minimap showed no useful information. There might have been more or less polished variants of that approach but that was likely the only sensible way before UI natives were added.

I guess the functions need to be in the map header or in a library to ensure correct declaration order.

I have understood that calling BlzGetOriginFrame() for the first time in a GetLocalPlayer() block may cause a desync, so for safety reasons it would be better do something like this:

globals
    framehandle Minimap = null
endglobals

function HideMinimapForPlayer takes player p returns nothing
    if Minimap == null then
        set Minimap = BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_MINIMAP, 0)
    endif
    if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
        call BlzFrameSetVisible(Minimap, false)
    endif
endfunction

function ShowMinimapForPlayer takes player p returns nothing
    if Minimap == null then
        set Minimap = BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_MINIMAP, 0)
    endif
    if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
        call BlzFrameSetVisible(Minimap, true)
    endif
endfunction
