Custom minimap

[Greenie0101]

Hey

I am really interested in making a custom minimap cos im sick of the GTA one but i want one which works for everyone on the server. What functions can i use?

I havent got any script as i dont know where to start on this

i thinking of using

showPlayerHudComponent 

to hide the minimap that is there and then make the new map on a GUI. How do i do this?

The best solution to create a new radar is a shader but you can use dxDrawImage() for a rectangle radar.

ok i sort of get what you mean but i've never used dxDrawImage. How can i make it move with the player? I imagine ill need to use dxDrawImageSection?

I've been scripting for several months now, I've made about 50 scripts or more, am currently making my third gamemode and understand most things. I just haven't used this function before. Now can you please just help? Besides it's not just helping me. It's helping every other person wh googles 'mta sa custom minimap'

I've started similar script myself some time ago but never got around to finish it. Here is a link if you're interested: http://scripteditor.beta.mtasa.com/arch ... inimap.zip There is a lot of trial and error when doing things like this. Oh, if I remember correctly drawing image section will tile the image, so if you go too far the image will tile, you will not see transparency at the edge of the image, it will repeat itself.

A professional scripter would not need to ask for help to understand how a function works, watching just wiki page about the function would be enough. It's not just because he did lots of scripts that he is pro.

As I said, pro scripters would not need help in such things.

Anyway, this is over otherwise it will become a flame war.
