[COMMAND] VmapEverything about the virtual map.

The [vmap] command

Description of the 'Virtual Map' window

The 'Virtual Map' window is essential to coordinate all actions of characters on Lyoko such as entering a tower, using the transporteur… But also to elaborate an effective strategy against XANA. Each entity displayed on the map is associated with a symbol and a color. These informations allow to observe the action in real time taking place in the virtual world.

Vmap.001
Control of the 'Virtual Map'
Rotation

Hold down the left mouse button, to make the camera rotate on the X, Y and Z axes.

Zoom

Use the mouse wheel to zoom/unzoom on the 'Virtual Map'.

Movement

Hold down the left mouse button and the Ctrl key, to move the camera on the X and Y axes.

Height

Hold down the Ctrl key and use the mouse wheel, to make the camera move up or down.

Attach camera

Click on an entity to attach the camera of the map to it.

Important:

In the Numerical Sea, the camera is locked to the Skidbladnir, it is therefore impossible to move it freely or modify its height.

Show a mini-map

The mini-map of an entity appears when hovering the mouse over it or when the camera is attached to it.

Note:

In some cases, mini-maps can be grouped:

  • When enemies move in a group.
  • When one or several lyoko-warriors are on or in a vehicle.
Characters

Mini-map

The symbol of the mini-map of a clone varies, depending on whether it is a spectral polymorph or a clone created by your team.

    Note:

    When a green tower flashes in red, it means that XANA is trying to regain control of this last one by injecting energy into it.

  • White
    A white tower is activated for Franz Hopper.

  • Grey
    A grey tower is grey if it is destroyed[color]. It no longer physically exists on the territory where it is located.

Mini-map

The mini-maps of the towers indicate their number on the territory where they are located.

Visual effects of the 'Virtual Map'
Tower

When a tower is attacked by monsters, cylindrical red pulses appear around it at each laser impact. This effect also applies to the attacking monsters.

Vmap.002
The points of life of a tower are consultable with the Superscan
Regeneration of a tower

When a tower is destroyed, an effect of blue bolts travels through the virtual object indicating that its regeneration process is in progress.
