mini-map trigger help and some spells questions!?

ok, first I would like to know how can I change the mini-map in game.
because I want to use change the camera bounds in game, but all the mini-map always appears, it look really bad when you see all the map and you got only a small part of the map in the camera bounds. How can i do this.

I have question on spell, I just want to know if I can make something like this.
I want to make aura with + to stats or +life. Something we can see the bonus if possible, if not i will take anyway.

Another question, how can I make items with abilities based on hero level, because I don't know how can the item abilities or normal abilities can take care about level, you can set item and normal abilities to a level and set it to different level but I can't level it cos the abilities only take care of level 1.

Another question, How work the upgrade: aura data and ability level.
Ability level is it work only on hero ability or something else and how it work?

Thank you!

For the aura, you will have to run a periodic event every second to see if the unit has the Aura's buff and is it does add the health or stat bonus, and if it doesn't, remove them.

You'll have to use triggers to set up the spells. You can use Hero Level of Hero to help you get damage that varies with the Hero's level. An example:

Actions:
Set life of (Target of ability being cast) equal to (Current life of ability being cast) - 2 * (Hero Level of (Casting Unit)

For that with mini-map, won't just "Black Mask" and "Masked areas are partially visible = False" do the trick?

There's a file called war3minimap.blp, I believe. Import that into your map and that should overwrite it.

Are you sure? I tink it's war3mapmap.tga, It's basically the same thing as the minimap preview, but it's mapmap instead of mappreview. Try what ThyFlame said first, but if that doesn't work, this will.

I know this, war3mappreview.blp and war3mapmap.tga for the map preview and the mini-map in game but it doesnt answer my question.
I asked 4 questions.
1 - the first how to change what we see in the mini-map, like to match the camera bounds part I will use, it's I think a trigger or jass or anything to do this but I didnt find how to do it. I basically asked this question in triggers threads, because I think it's a trigger I need. By the way black march is not a bad idea but when a unit will discover the terrain I will the problem again. I saw this in some map like spellcraft old version, and a pyramide kind map.

2 - I want to do a dummy aura abilities but I want to know how to give another effect to all units under the dummy aura effect like +stats (str/agi/int or bonus to life).

3 - I asked if you know any way to make item bonus based on hero level, but I think I will try to use charge to do it.

4 - How can I use the aura data upgrade and the ability level bonus, I don't really know this work.

Can I have any answer on each questions like this :
1-the answer
2-the answer
3-the answer
4-the answer
If you don't know just say ''I don't know'' beside the number, thank you to considering this and thank you to help me.

It's good that you're clear about what you want :) Unfortunately i can't help you with question one.

2: There isn't an aura that does this, therefore you're going to have to make a periodic trigger that picks all units within a radius of the unit with the aura and gives them the stat boost skill (the skill used in the orc bonus compaign)

3: This is qutie difficult to do because it will involve replacing an item with the item of the appropriate level each time the hero levels or picks up an item. There is no way to modify item properties on-the-fly easily and without a large number of triggers.

4: I don't quite understand what you mean here. Do you mean you don't understand how the different levels for aura's work or are you trying to get an upgrade to work with an aura?

Please help me for this, it's a little question. No one seem to know this mini-map thing ... Anyway I will try to find a way ... If any can help me to unprotect map so I find how he did I will be so happy, I don't care about modifying map, all I want is to see how they do some trigger and stuff and I don't want to modify the good work they do, its why I want to know how to unprotect when I don't find how I can do what I want to do. :\

Yeah, you're right doca.

I think they just used a black square as the minimap for spellcraft, I know of no way to make the map "match the camera bounds"... it's still the same minimap, just a picture is uncovered instead of terrain; you can't change the dimensions.
