Set enemy units display in map/minimap?

[KolSkywalker]

How can I set the map and minimap to display the enemy unit markers like in the campaign missions? Is it possible to do through the LUA scripts or something?

You mean those yellow arrows that point to the objective? If so, they're done through Lua. The campaign scripts have the best examples on how to implement them. I think you can find the code before the section of script that controls each campaign objective.

No, I think he wants the enemy units to show up on the minimap.

That is right, @ggctuk. My apologies if anyone was confused. Is it possible to that? Just curious.

I'm fairly sure it is. Just put the function ShowAllUnitsOnMinimap() and it should work.

I tried putting the code quoted above in the LUA, but it did not work.

Oh well, that was my only bet. Maybe someone else knows a way to make it work, if there is one.

Found these inside imp_inf_default_officer.odf

Code: Select all

ScanningRange       = 30.0
TransmitRange       = 300.0

Not sure about them but I think ScanningRange sets the range of view on your minimap. And TransmitRange does the opposite for AI. But that's just a thought. Try using very high numbers and put both lines to all your unit odf's (Or just the highest possible parent odf).
