Can I cover the Auto-map?

The wad I'm working on is a maze and I don't want the player to cheat and use the Auto-map. How could I cover it or do something like this?:

You can give any linedef the "Dont show on automap" flag.

That, and conversely, you can give linedefs the "Secret" flag, which makes them look like one-sided lines (solid walls) even when they're not. In principle, you could have the automap show an entirely different maze, or subtly different to throw the player off if they rely on it (like leading them into a trap). Use this power wisely.

If you don't want to permit the automap as a navigational aid, that is your call, but "cheating" is the wrong way to describe that. 

I think you can do it with sbarinfo. Put these lines in it:

height 108;
monospacefonts true, "0", center;


statusbar Automap
{
    drawimage "***", x, y;
}

Replace *** with the name of the picture and x,y with suitable coordinates.
