Hey guys!
Do you have any recommendations for implementing a clickable 3D map? I need your thoughts on this because currently, I’m not sure how to set it up.
- What am I doing:
I’m currently programming a racing game where the player should be able to set his own track in a free, open world system via checkpoints (blueprint is already built). I want to visualize it for the player in a drop-down perspective. So the Player is pressing a key, will have a 3D Map in front of him, is setting the checkpoints A,B,C, clicks start and created his own race. Please have a look at the attached scribble.
- How would I do it?
I thought about switching from my existing vehicle camera to a different** “top-down” camera by pressing the Key C ( C for checkpoints). The camera will cover the complete map from a top-down perspective. If the camera/map is launched the mouse cursor will be tracked by Get hit result under cursor by channel.** With the tracking of my cursor, I should receive the location in world space as an output where i would bind my blueprint checkpoint to it.
I would love to know what your solution for this case would be. And if mine is good enough, would it be cheap from a performance point of view?
Best,
Jan
