Transitioning between maps within a scenario
Like many people, I transition between maps within a scenario via this method: {FADE_TO_BLACK}, [replace_map], {FADE_IN}. Are there faster or more visually interesting alternatives?
Have you ever used a terrain mask to rapidly switch to a new map within a scenario? How?
What do you do when you want to transition between maps within a scenario? Have you invented any nifty alternatives to the standard approach? If so, please share the code. Thanks.

Code: Select all
# use [kill] and [hide_unit] to remove units from the first map
{FADE_TO_BLACK}
[replace_map]
map_file=enter_the_cave.map
[/replace_map]
{FADE_IN}
# use [teleport] and [unhide_unit] to reposition the leader and other units
