need help w/ skibi-like mini game

ive got my map (the td part) made, but in the middle of the map I have an rpg layed out. I was wondering what the following triggers are to work the skibi-type thing where inbetween every round (every 5 for my map) you would play a minigame, and all the other shit would pause while ur playing it.

The layout of the game is this, every 5 rounds you play a mini aeon of strife type game for 3 or 4 mins. and when the timer expires u go back to td play until the next 5 rounds, then u pick up rite where u left off in the AoS.

Heres the triggers i need help with:

1) I want the minigame regions to be fog of war, but the rest of the map fully visible, no matter what (from map initialization)

2) Need to know how to get all units to pause except minigame units during a minigame, and howto pause all units in minigame during TD play (also the units that are paused should be invulnerable, and have no abilities or anything)

Those are the only triggs i need help with, I tihnk i did the rest, ill post if again if i need more help

Number 2 is fairly simple just use the trigger:
Pick every unit in (MinigameRegion/TD Region) and pause picked unit. Number one involves visibility/fog of war triggers, and im sure someone can explain that better than me. Great idea for a mini game btw, the pick up where you left of is a good idea.

i tried the visibility trigs but tehy didnt work, need an EXACT tutorial.

I also cant get a region for just the td cause the td goes around the minigame, is there a way to do whole map minus minigmae region?
