2 Questions about my Map

First off is there a way that whether or not you have seen a part of the map that it stays black over the entire minimap, except hero bubbles. (I might be describing it poorly but I want my minimap to work like it does in D3fiances ORPG)

Also, I'm having issues with making fog appear using triggers, I've checked my triggers (which are relatively simple) and it should work, but nothing is happening ingame, the rest of the trigger that they are in works, just not that part.

Thanks.

If you want a blacked out minimap, you would probably have to import a completely black tga or blp image and save it as war3mapMap.(blp or tga, depending on file type). I can't help you with the fog trigger, I would first need to see it to help.

Its just simply:

Environment - Create Weather Effect
then:
Environment - Enable Weather Effect

So, I create the effect in the region, and then enable it. So I was wondering if I had to define it as a variable or do something else to get it to work.
