SC2Mapster

Hi guys. I made a map called BlindCraft (you can find it on the NA server). I used raised lava over the entire map in order to hide everything. You play using sounds, selection box and the minimap.

My friends and i had fun with it but we would love to see what mess we made while playing in this mode.

Is there a way i can blind a players camera view, but allow observer players to see?

You could create a dialog of size 3000, 3000 and put a dialog image inside with size also 3000, 3000 with the image you wish and only show it for players that are playing.

that sounds like it would work.

I would need help setting that up, as i''m not too familiar with triggers and data editing other than color and scaling.

i looked for a tutorial and i looked into figuring it out myself, but the sc2 trigger system is way to advanced for me. I know how to use the sc1 triggers no problem; a few basic ones on wc3, but this one is just rocket science.

Any help would be appreciated. This map idea, though very basic, is a way to have an idiotically fun free for all with friends.

I'd like to cover the main vision area of players with a pure black image, while leaving the ui and minimap untouched.

Lock camera control and then apply a camera view that shows a close-up black area of the world. :P

won't that lock the camera in one place? I still need the players to be able to move it and select units with drag boxes.

Also, i had another solution in mind.

Is there a way to make a water/lava layer that is only visible for some players but not others (i.e. visible to players but not to observers)?
