A simple example to learn Mini-map.

I was hunting for examples of mini maps and couldn't find any that were basic to learn from.

It's good!
Just little bug. If alien dies, it still stays on the minimap, and
that way it fills...

Was wondering how long it would take someone to notice that... Know a fix for that issue ???

Well seeing as you are using a global array instead of the actor*s (which would probably be a better method), you would have to set the subs of the array to some xy value not attainable by the actor. Just put aside a x value, in this case -999, and in destroy set it to that value.
alien -> Destroy Actor -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

aliens[me][0]=-999;

And in the canvas actor, check if the aliens[i][0]!=-999, and if so create the dot.
