Help with Evented Minimap

[Panda_Artist]

Good Morning / Day / Afternoon / Evening everyone.

I am in need of a little assistance. This time with events.

You see I managed to program this minimap







my only problems with this are the following:

1. The minimap is too big and it covers more than half the screen
2. The cursor does work, but when I try to resize the minimap, the cursor goes outside the minimap... (because yes it does follow player x and player y with variables.

I want to place the minimap on the lower right corner of the screen, but I also would like to center the cursor there as well... essencially recreating the minimap in the Final Fantasy games





Can anyone please lend me some assistance?

my map size is 200x200 tiles, if that helps.

I would do something like this:

You get the player's map X and divide it by the map width, then multiply it by the width of the minimap picture (e.g. in my example, that's 400 pixels). Then you get the player's map Y and divide it by the map height, then multiply it by the height of the minimap picture.

EDIT: This is if the map stays in the top-left corner. If you shift the map around, you need to add the position of the minimap picture to those variables, like so:
