Minimap by Selwyn, Easy Yet Complicated! Options

[Redd]

The reason why I say "Easy Yet Complicated" is because this is very easy to use and install, and you don't have to do practically anything with loads of pictures, finding out what goes where, huge events, just one script and a couple of pictures is all. This is also made by Selwyn so make sure to give him credit!

First, put these inside your game's pictures folder, make sure to set the transparency and DON'T name them anything else!

Second, you MUST put this script above main and name it Minimap:

The little dots that appear on the screen (your character is a red dot, i believe) are color coded, for NPCs, Treasure, Events, and other stuff.
You must put the following in a comment on your event page depending on what color you want the dot to be:
____________________
npc
teleport
chest
enemy
event
savepoint
____________________
Whichever word you have in that comment is what color your dot will be, so if you typed "enemy" in a comment then the dot on the minimap would show a red dot where that enemy is.

By default, the minimap is in the lower right hand of the screen, though you can change it to any different one.

If you need any more help with this, just ask me!

source : http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n...history_state0=(Translated From Thai)

OH CRAP I forgot something!
On the site I got it from, at the bottom it tells you about how to turn the minimap on and off with a switch. The one it is currently at in the script is Switch #1, but you can change it somehow. Just look at the site and it will explain it for you!

TESTED AND WORKS!

Thanks for posting this, been looking for it for awhile.

This sounds rather interesting, do you think you can make a demo of such a thing?

[Redd]

Sure I'll make a demo right away!

Thanks Redd! The demo is a perfect example! I might use this my future games!
