I'm working on a map and i was wondering how i would set up a system with elvators such that a unit will be moved to an area that was not on the previous mini map (i belive this would be done with camera bounds, but im not too sure). I would want it so that units on the first level would not be seen or see units on the second level and vice versa. I belive something along these lines was done in Dark Lineage Owen. I would really appreciate any help with this. If for any reason this is too confusing i can always reexplain this. Thanks |

why don't you just remove the unit from the game? in case you need the unit back, keep it in a variant |

You could make the mini black using WEU enhancer, that way players won't be able to see the minimap, use this in conjuction with camera bounds and it will work pretty good. |

Sorry i guess i didn't fully explain what i wanted. I want two seperate areas like an upper story and a lower one. Well its more of an illusion that there is an upper and lower "story". I dont want the unit removed, i want it to be able to interact with other things/players on the next "story" and be able to switch betweeen the bottom and the top. What im interested in is how to effectively pull this illusion off using camera bounds on the minimap, and any other useful tricks to improve this 'illusion'. I want players to be able to see the minimap, just a different minimap for the "top" level and then another for the "bottom" level. (so players on the "top" story would see a different portion of the minimap than those on the "bottom") |

I'm not sure its possible to have 2 different Minimaps. But i can help you with the transaction of levels. |

Yeah i was pretty sure it was possible from that rpg Dark Lineage Owen. I think ill just have to mess around with it. But if anyone finds a way to do it please tell me. Thanks |
