Antman2o1o 3 Posted September 10, 2020 Hey, folks super stuck here maybe one of you Arma Dev Gods can help finish this off. PURPOSE OF CODE: I am trying to build a mini-map like in the game Squad. So you don't have to come out of the game to check your map. WHY: This would be extremely helpful to folks who are flying in jets so they don't crash when they come out of the game to check their map. I have most of the map working to include positioning. I just can't figure out how to create an open and close feature to call the map. I am not sure how to bind a key to open or close the map. There is also a map line marker error I can't figure out as well. So maybe someone with more skill can finish this out and share the code. THOUGHTS: This would have to work multiplayer for each faction player. Maybe triggered from onPlayerRespawn.sqf Credit Goes To Larrow for map code Any help highly appreciated ANT CODE BELOW: init.sqf fnc_updateMiniMap = { _map = _this select 0; _map ctrlMapAnimAdd [0, 0.05, player]; ctrlMapAnimCommit _map; }; waitUntil { time > 0 }; //Show MiniMap ( [ "myMiniMap" ] call BIS_fnc_rscLayer ) cutRsc [ "myMap", "PLAIN", 1, false ]; _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ description.ext #include "basedefines.hpp" class RscTitles { #include "minimap.hpp" };

Janez 534 Posted September 11, 2020 Dude, code and spoiler tags! inputAction in while loop or maybe event handler could help with binding a key, User1-20 for example. I imagine you want a textured mini map like full sized one over vanilla GPS? Because map markers show on GPS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antman2o1o 3 Posted September 12, 2020 Janez thanks for the suggestion...I was hoping to find someone to help with this Way beyond my current skill set. I will try the information you posted. Ant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even playing with transparency: Do you think it is possible to put a .paa overlay on top of the GPS UI to increase immersion? The scripts I've found completely redo the GPS system instead of just using the one from the game. Basically what I need is to find the size and location of the default GPS UI so I can apply a .paa tablet background to it for example Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
