Enlarge map n minimap

Remember rexxar's campaign when he transformed into a wyvern in troll islands? First when we arrive in that map, the map is a square, but after we destroy the human battle ships, the map goes rectangle with 1:2 width:height size, with new area discovered. How can we do something like this? I tried to figure out by my own, but failed, please help. :o

I wondered idly about that myself recently, too.

If you open up the first couple of human tft campaign maps, you'll find that those are also the same, with different areas removed.

It might have to do with changing the camera bounds in-game. I trust you've opened the map and looked at it?

Yeah, blizzard sure use several complicated triggers for their campaign maps. I thought so too, using cam bounds. :wink: If we can 'master' this thing 8) we can make a hero to enter the building (with the building map only in the minimap, but without changing the map) or something like that.
