Flare minimap

Flare minimap is an Effect which is accessed from the Triggers menu. You can learn more about the Triggers window here. You can learn more about using effects here.

Effect Description:

This effect displays a visual notification on the Minimap (a flare) and will play a signal sound as well.

Effect Parameters:

Player: Determines the player whose Minimap will be flared. All other players won't see the flare, but hear the signal sound as well.
Duration: Specifies how long the map will flare. 4 seconds is in my opinion a good value. (0 will cause an infinite flare.)
Set Area: Where the flare will occur.
Flash: Is suspected not to work.

Notes:

• For some reason this effect doesn't seem to work in triggers at the very beginning of the scenario, i.e. run-immediately ones. If you need a flare right at the beginning, play around with the priority of the trigger.
