Minimap Kit gives your level a minimap and a full-screen world map in any style. Drop one actor in the level, pick a style, add a marker component to the actors you want on the map, and press Play.
Eight ready styles, one data asset each
Modern (round, tilted 3D), Tactical (square, grid, coordinates), Parchment (a painted map with a torn edge and fog of war), Hologram (scanlines, radar sweep), Minimal, Urban (a borderless rectangle), Radar (borderless, tilted) and Street (a flat street map). Each one brings a matching full-screen world map. Every value can change at runtime:
Shape: round, square, rounded, rectangle or your own mask
A frame, or an edge that fades out
Nine screen positions, size and colours
North up, or turning with the player or the camera
Compass letters, grid, scale bar, coordinates and zone name
Three views
Flat 2D, tilted 3D (the map leans away like a car dashboard map), or painted from a texture you bake in one click, at no capture cost while the game plays.
Street Look
Turns any level into a clean street map in flat colours: buildings, roads, parks and water. No setup, and it works on hill towns and coastal towns too.
Roads and a GPS route
Any spline becomes a road on the map: tag the actor or add the road component. Set a waypoint and a GPS route follows your roads to it, drawn right over them, with the remaining distance under the map. It recalculates when the player leaves it.
Markers
Add the marker component to any actor, a building or a moving character:
30 icons, each in five matching sets
Labels and colours
Clamped to the map’s edge with a direction arrow
Up and down arrows for height
Important markers that always show
Categories with a legend
Optional icons in the 3D world with their distance
World map
Full screen, pan and zoom with the mouse or a gamepad, click to set the waypoint, legend and zone names. The waypoint snaps to markers, follows moving targets and clears itself on arrival.
More
A compass bar across the top of the screen (three looks, filtered by category)
Map zones that name the area you are in
Fog of war that hides undiscovered markers and can be saved and restored
Buildings between the map camera and the player turn see-through, so the street stays readable
Built to run well
One scene capture (512 px at 30 Hz by default), or none in the painted view
Pooled marker widgets
Road lines drawn only near the view
Demo included
A small town with roads, a river, shops, characters, coins and a quest objective. Keyboard and mouse or gamepad controls (AZERTY keyboards too); every control calls the documented Blueprint API.
