🗺️Minimaps
Creation
To add a minimap to your game do the following:
Add the Game Manager (single-player) or Room Manager (multiplayer) component to your scene
Open the Mini-map tab and activate the "Use" checkbox
Place there your texture (read here about recommendations) and press the Adjust Map button
Now you should adjust the size, position, and rotation of the "Map Example" plane to fit your map in the scene
After that, the mini-map is ready and you can customize different parameters for it:
Value
Meaning
Rotate Mini-map
The minimap will rotate with the camera view
Rotate Blips
Opponents blips will rotate with their parents
Blips are Always Visible
If a blip is outside the mini-map, it still visible
Scale by Distance
If a blip is outside the mini-map, it still visible and is scaled relative to the 'Visible Distance' value
UI Placeholder Adjustment
In the UI Manager, you can adjust a minimap placeholder and its form.
Blips
Characters & Enemies
You can set a blip texture for characters and enemies in the Controller and AIController scripts respectively.
Pickup Items
There is the ability to set blips in the Pickup Item script (for weapons in the Weapon Controller script)
Other Objects
If you need to mark any other object in your scene (a target for example) use the Blip script for that - just add it to an object and set an Icon.
Use Rotation parameter means whether the icon will rotate with the object.
