How to make a minimap that shows the player position

[alisonchan30]

Hello, this is my first time to post a topic. (but i always look up for RF info in this forum)

I would like to know how to make a minimap that shows player and pawn position and do some updates.
e.g. add a cross to the position after a trigger.

I made a bmp map to shows the level and show it in HUD as a picture. However, I don't know what to do to show
the player position and do the update.

Would someone teach me how to do it?

Thanks a lot for your help.

You could probably write a script that gets the player position using the self.player_X, self.player_Y, and self.player_Z attributes then convert those coordinates in to your map coordinates by throwing away the Y parameter and scaling the X and Z to your map's scale. Then just draw an X on the map at that location. Also, you can do the same for other pawns using the self.current_X, self.current_Y, and self.current_Z attributes

Yep, it is possible to a certain degree, however, it takes quite a bit of scripting work.
I'm working on an easier solution for this task.
