Is It Possible To Make A Minimap Of The Level You Are In?

[metal_head]

I was wondering if it's possible to create something like a minimap of the level you are in.
Like the one GTA has:

It would be cool to make the radar with a map,maybe I should have a bitmap of the level's map and put it somehow in the radar,but the question is ???HOW???
Has anybody done this before or any ideas on how to do it?

A minimap like this is currently not possible. What is possible, is to draw a bitmap of your level on the screen and show the position of the player on it. However, you have to script this. You can find a simple implementation in an old demo level which you can download from:

Thanks,it's too bad a minimap like this can't be done,but that's enough for me
