Hiding secret rooms?

Has anyone found a good way to hide a secret room from showing up on the pop-up map?

I've tried putting a depth-fade-black or floor tiles over it, but no luck so far.

    have not tried it yet, but would a tp to some room about 3 miles away work?

    Not in this case, no. I have some timer rooms that must be within 250', and also some hidden rooms which the player can find via a secret door. The latter are actually part of the same outer room. I want to conceal them from the overhead map if possible.

    This would be nice to know. I literally just thought of an addition for my quest when I saw this topic.

    You may try tiling the roof, Mosby. As far as I know only assets 'hide', as they show up on the map.
    Sum, ergo creo.

    Right - I tried tiling it with various floor and roof pieces (with Y = 30 or so), water planes, and depth-fades. But they didn't hide the room. Even though the Y value was higher, they showed under the other stuff.

    Hmm, sorry, then I'm afraid I don't know. (Odd that tiles with Y +30 show up under your floor/ assets by the way.)

    Also; I'm blind, didn't see you mentioned it in your op >.<

    Another edit: how about a waterplane? Does that show up over or under?

    Bunch of Cave Path details over it?
    Is it an indoor-map "room" ?

    LOL - My edit was just before yours, where I added "water plane" to my list of things that don't work :)

    Indoor, yes. I tried one of those big Cave Path Discs, and even that showed up under the other stuff.. weird.

    Hahah!

    Honestly, though, this is baffling. I know for a fact fades -should- cover (seen it), and other assets as well.
    Work around with spamming rooms to confuse rather than hide? Your map would show a maze of rooms, then, but it won't be too clear as to which room would be the correct one.

    Well then - maybe it works once published, but the editor tries to be "nice" by drawing those big objects under the smaller ones. I'm testing it in the 3D mode though, not in the editor itself. But still, it could change once published. Guess I'll try that next...
