I am making a map where I first present players with a dialogue box where they choose their faction. If possible, I would really like the rest of the screen to be black for this choice - no UI, no terrain, no units.
Hiding the UI and terrain is pretty straightforward, but I have not been able to hide the units; I can still see their snapshots no matter what I try.
Does anyone know of a way to completely hide all units/terrain/UI while players select a dialog item, then show them again afterward?
I would use cinematic mode and fade out over 0 seconds. Then also be sure to show the mouse cursor. See any of my Mapster maps for their difficulty selection screen.
Hi all,

Thanks!
How about like this.
Condition :
- Dialogue Item Selected
Action :
- Picked all units
- Hide all picked units.

Why not just create an Image dialog item that covers the whole screen?

Awesome :). I went with the second option, and it seems to be working great once I imported a pure-black image for it.
Thank you all for your suggestions -- I really appreciate them!
