Question: Linking one map to another?

[Madpassion]

I am a fairly new user of the World Editor, but I still have alot to learn. I was wondering if it were possible to create a main map and have, say a cave so that when the player touches the cave (or an object such as a region) it will load another, maybe smaller map representing inside the cave. In my case the main map is a city (My very first creation(attached)) and I would like the far north gate to link to a "castle" map and the southern side to link to a forest map. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Basically, it can only be single player and it is done by using the Campaign editor.

You can only do this in a campaign. (Single-player only.)
Here's a Tutorial that has everything you need:

@95blojoe - Yeah, I have thought about doing it that way. I am planning to make it a single player campaign (hoping this will let it work regarding the other replies) and to eventually create a large world to explore.

@SharkBait87 - Well it would have to be. I looked at one of the actual campaign maps from the Frozen Throne (Orc prologue) and checked out the cave leading to the thunderidge area and also the cave leading to the cavern (goblin quest) area, but they are not on the main map. I found they were a separate map (within the w3patch.mpq file). I looked at the triggers etc, but because it's a map made for the game its just to complicated lol. So I'm not sure either.

@Azylaminaz - Seeing as my plan for it is to be a single player game this should help me. Haven't had time to read it through though
@Exide - Thanks for the additional link. Again havent had time to read it.

Thanks everyone for replying.
