Hey guys, I read some of the forum posts, was wondering if anyone could tell me how to change popular maps for melee such as Daybreak / Cloud Kingdom so that:
1) Both players have full map vision
2) A variation where only 1 player has full map vision
3) A variation where players can permanently see places they have scouted
If anyone could explain the process in a step by step approach I would be very grateful.
I did do some reading about changing the fog of war thing and also some stuff about map revealers but I have no clue how to actually do this on the map editor.
You're going to need to use some triggers to make this happen.
Open up the map and go Modules > Triggers. Right click 'actions', find new > New Action. Find 'visibility' in the list on the left.
To achieve effect 2), use 'Reveal Area' and click ok. Click the new action, click 2.0 seconds and set it to 0.0 seconds. Click area, click 'function', click 'Entire Map', click 'ok'.
For effect 1), use 'Enable/Disable Visibility'. Then copy/paste it, open up the second one, click 'black mask' and set it to 'fog of war'.
Effect 3) is a bit more complicated. Let me move this thread to the trigger forum for you, should be easy for the folks there.
hmm the only way i could think of how to do 3 would be creating revelers in regions following each created unit but that may get a bit laggy...hmm (just throwing ideas out to other players who may read this)

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
Do you want to change these options in-game? If not, it's piss easy. Still possible to fix it in-game, just a tad harder.
It doesn't have to be in game, I just want to create a set map pool with entire map map vision for 1 or both players.
