How can I make A side map that tells someone where they are on a map

Hello,

So this is no offence or anything like that but you should try by your self the thing you want to do because what about if it's very easy but if you tried and still having trouble then you can ask questions.

Hello,

You can take a screenshot of your map from above and use it as an image of your map.
Additionally, you can insert another picture within the map image as an indicator of your location and update it according to the camera’s position.



Here is an example:

Dear Cyberix3d,

The example is not opening and the code is not working.

Thank you,

Hey Cyberix3D,

Can you please explain me the logic behind using the x=(5000+camera.x)*0.1 and y=(5000-camera.y)*0.1



Thank you,
A dumb user.

Hello,

This formula is used to adjust the 3D world position to match the 2D map image.

We have carefully adjusted the numbers until the result looked satisfactory.
