[UI] Minimap Square

[CHA_Owner]

How can you remove the little white minimap square that follows your unit around on the minimap?

I think what you are looking for is this value in the object editor
stats - hide minimap display (boolean)

If you set it to True then you wont see a white box for the unit on the mini map

Hope that helps

I have already done that but still theres a white box that follows the unit....

We did a similar thing for D3W

I believe under each unit there is a field you need to set to "False". I can't remember the name of it off-hand but I think it was something like "Display unit on minimap"

Make sure its done for every unit in your map

Well i think i know what is causing this now i have my camera locked to each seperate unit so on the minimap it does not cover the entire map but is there anything you can get rid of in the game interface to do this since i have already tried disabling minimap view of each unit....

 

[CloudWolf]

Right! I think I know what you mean now

Are you talking about the white box that shows you which part of the map your viewing?

This has nothing to do with the unit, it simply shows what part of the map the player is looking at

 

[CHA_Owner]

yea thats the one is there anyway to keep it from showing up like in game interface?

Object Editor > Your unit > Stats - Hide Minimap Display > True
and BAM no more white square!

I do not think you can get rid of the camera box. An easy way to get rid of the entire minimap view is to set an icon to something that doesn't exist. Example: Set the goldmine icon (Advanced>Game Interface>Icon- Minimap Resource) to "UI\minimap\.blp
That will black out the minimap because the file you put in does not exist, and will not give an error (well it didn't for me when I did it).

 

[CHA_Owner]

Neither of those get rid of the cameras white square on the minimap i think its impossible to do since its set as a locked camera....

 

[CloudWolf]

hmmm..

Does anyone know if the white camera box uses a texture? If it does it s just a case of replacing the texture with an empty .blp file
