disable minimap block

pretty self explanatory

a block that disables the minimap when the player touches it

useful if you only want the player to see the minimap at a specific time

Re: disable minimap block

This was discussed before, I think the general conclusion was that there's no point disabling the minimap as players can pretty easily just screenshot it after they first get it.

Actually, there is a point. Players can see there current location on the map when it is enabled, but screenshotting it only shows where their location was at the time of screenshotting. That can be very useful for making exploration based levels or puzzles where the user must use the mapping skills to find out where they are in the level.

There is always the inspect tool though, so given 10 seconds or so you could always work out where you are on the map.

You make a valid point, I didn't think of that. (Though you could always make a "disable inspection" option, which would be useful for more than just this idea)
At the end of the day though, eeditor exists so there's no real true way to hide the minimap after all.
