This really should be in the Technical Discussion thread redfox007.

Except it shouldn't even be there really...

This has been asked for many times and the answer is always the same.

psikoT made this and kindly donated it into the "Little Useful Projects" area of the User Created Samples catagory.

To add - it is really important to know the size of your terrain when working with this. You have to do a little maths to work out the ratio of real world to map so everything displays at the right location.

If the demo in the link isn't enough - check out my Grimball demo for a minimap that tracks 4 cars in a football stadium - it should help.

glad it helped... you guys are welcome

yep... although I can't remember what I did exactly to match both terrain and minimap sizes...   I will ask you next time...

is it able to locate and show randomly spawning ai enemies for use in like a radar scope?? Would be awesome for the remake of the classic game Battlezone.

I think you could do that yeah.

If it was from imposters spawning - you would have to get the imposter ID and then assign that to show as a sprite on the map. See no reason for it not to work.

If you could set the script to only update the sprite once every 2 - 3 seconds aswell you would have a really nice radar feel to it.
