Minimaps

[katlek]

Hello!

I would like to know if i can create

a mini map of my level.

I've created a game in fps mode and my level is quite big,

so a minimap showing the player's position

would be more than useful...

Thanks!

I'd recommend opening your map in RPG mode. RPG mode has a built in Mini-map and is very detailed. It will automatically load your map in the mini-map, so you don't have to worry about doing it manually ;D

Try it out!

You are my savior!

The problem is that the code i wrote for my project
will not load in rpg mode...I can't talk to npc's and text in particles doesn't show up.

The rpg mode needs different scripting methods than fps?

If this is true, is there a possibility i can create a minimap in fps mode?

unfortunately, no. Or at least not without a lot of source engine modifying. Your best bet here is to learn RPG coding and not use text particles.

oh i see...

Where can i find a guide for rpg scripting ?

I've searched the forum and tutorials i couldn't find anything...

Thanks anyway chocolatepie!
