## Community notes

**Ceeeb** — 2007-02-02

In **OFP v1.96**, the mapAnim series of commands, together with [forceMap](../commands/forceMap.md) can only be used in the intro and mission, as it is not possible to access the map from the outro. *(not checked, sourced from an old copy of the OFPEC comref)*
