Set Camera Bounds

[Smitty]

Hi all. I'm trying to limit the view of my minimap to one central arena, so anything around it isn't visible, and the arena stretches as large as it can in the minimap box. I've managed to achieve a close match to what I want by setting camera bounds to a region, but then all it does is superimpose the unit layer of the minimap on a larger scale version of the arena, behind which you can see the map of normal size. Anyone got any idea what I can do to achieve the desired effect?

Thanks in advance for any help

Thats impossible. The minimap image cannot be changed ingame.

So it's not possible for the minimap image to be anything other than the whole map? I can get it to show the unit layer of set regions, but not the terrain.

it is possible for the minimap image to be anything you like, but it would be needed to set it in the editor, once you play the game the image cannot be changed at all.
However, if you dont mind you can disable units to be displayed on the minimap at all.

Well, what I really want is to display the central arena. However, setting the camera bounds to that region seems to mean that the players cannot under any circumstances see outside of that region. Which is then the only problem, since they need to see the dungeons they are running.

dont know if its protected or not, but the map Cruiser Command does something like that, you should check it out
