Item that reveals portion of the mini map?

[Faellin]

Anyone know a bit of code for an item, that when obtained. Reveals part of the drawing grid mini map when that feature is enabled?

The specific setup i'm going for is there is a part of my project that is a 6x6 grid of rooms. Where going the wrong direction triggers a negative event. I want to add an item "Map of maze" that reveals the safe path through this section on the mini map without you needing to enter it and blindly wander through rooms.

There are 3 methods, my code sample only have the first 2 methods.

1. Simply show a picture
   Press printscreen keyboard button and find the picture in your screenshots folder.
   Then code in this at map's "use" verb button:

picture ("Screenshot.png")

2. Walkaround method (Only 1 map, but highlight safe path with light green)
   Save player's location, then move player to along the safe path,
   Colour the room grids with light green,
   Use function: Grid_Redraw then teleport player back to original location.

save_location = player.parent
MoveObject (player, room4)
player.parent.grid_fill = "LightGreen"
MoveObject (player, room14)
player.parent.grid_fill = "LightGreen"
MoveObject (player, room24)
player.parent.grid_fill = "LightGreen"
MoveObject (player, room25)
player.parent.grid_fill = "LightGreen"
Grid_Redraw
player.parent = save_location

3. Save map, reset map, redraw map1 but with preset safe path.

   This is rather difficult so I will avoid this.
   Remember when player stops looking at map, you will have to do hide map2 and reveal map1.
   Map glitches can happen when player is not position at the redrawn map. If you force player to only be able to look at map at correct room positions, then it would be strange as maps can usually be taken anywhere logically speaking.
