Enable map on, off?

[Wildebeest]

Hi, I just wonder if it's possible to enable the map again in-game after having used "showMap=0" in "description.ext"?

Thx, yer the best

i think its quite possible to type showmap = 1 in an on activation line (e.g. trigger) in the mission - this will then allow the map to be shown...

by the sounds of it, you are letting the player 'find' a map then

showMap show

Operand types:
show: Boolean
Type of returned value:
Nothing
Description:
Enable map (default true)

Example:
showMap true

I've just tested it in a mission - you need to use true or false, = 0 and = 1 don't work.  (Though they don't produce and error either.)

i think it wont work in da mission editor

showMap true  (or false)

works just fine in the mission editor, that's what I tested.  ;D   I think you've got it back to front LCD .... you use 1/0 in the description.ext and true/false in the ME.

The map actually disappears while you're looking at it, which is pretty cool.   You could make a nice "pissed as a fart" script where the map switched on and off every second or so.  Now that would be freaky.
