In a ap is there a possible way to use triggers to make a picture move
ex. say i wanted to make a map, that had a tv on it - big enough to see on the minimap, is there anyway to make things move, without - the only way i can think of is using the same unit like a civilian at every square and change their color, but this is really hard, and after a while they all glitch up and stafrt becoming the same color and changing players (colors) at the same time
Its not posible to have a picture move, as in the terrian. But if u use differnt player colors and units it is possible to have sumthing in motion on the minimap.
use photon cannons in stead of civilans.
if u use terrain, it wont move but if u use other such as buildings or maybe units, u can order them to move thus making the picture move.
use buildings!!!! not units they wil get jumbled up everywhere
the animation would be hard to do but im sure its possible
Use a building, however, instead of moving them, give them to different players.

thats kinda the idea...
so much work with burrowing units & stuff...
hehe never thought of this!
Someone apparently made a program that can turn a AVI video (or an animated .gif, or something like that) into a in-game minimap animation by generating lots of triggers which give photon cannons to different players. (The map is filled with cannons)
I don't think it's available to the general public, though.
