This is my bp in the firstpersoncharacter:
My Platforms:
My map:
Animated GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY ← Moving the x of the billboard works.
The whole mini map switching works. It’s just that i want to make it so that the capture only shows the platform.
So u can move the z axis of the billboard down and it’ll get closer to the platforms?
The values you put in the Spawn Actor don’t do anything. Once you start switching the the next one, the value are pulled from the platform’s scene component - here, the billboard.
To me, it seems like it’s working - are you sure the billboards are positioned correctly? To me it seems you’ve offset it incorrectly, that’s it.
Would u be able to share that project with me? so i can go through step by step what i’ve done/not done.
Also while were on the subject of the mini map. In a previous question you helped me display text for each view. Well when i open the map it shows the first platform but identified with the wrong text.
So how would I change that?
This is the bp:
Sure, it’s here (updated link):
The solution for text is included. Each platform has its own text and when we pull data from the platform, we update the widget’s text. No need to offset indexes.
Okay thanks 
I’ve also requested to see this shared link.
Yeah, I might have accidently mis-clicked or Google Drive changed how things work. Sorry. Should work now, do tell if it does not.
Updated the post with the link.
yep i can download it
I’ve gone through your project twice and the text works properly now. But i still have the problem with the changing position of the camera on the z axis. Everything is the same apart from your blueprints are on the apawn and mine are on the first person character.
Also for some reason i have the capture actor view show when i open the map view, but can’t set text to that capture actor view. Do you know how i would set this?
Similar to this:

Not sure what you mean. But if you want to control which platform shows by default, disconnect Event Construct in the widget and:
Manually call that the event a dispatcher calls, selecting the desired index - this will be the default, starting platform to show. Here, it’s the last one from the array.
Yep that works now thanks. As to the:
‘can you show an example of a platform actor with the offset billboard that the actor does not snap to’
Is that what you mean?
and also i don’t understand what you mean by this → print the value of that billboard location just before setting capture actor location and tell what it reads
print the value of that billboard
location just before setting capture
actor location and tell what it reads
It should print the value you see in the image -1 | 0 | 6000
Does it?
That’s the location you’re placing the capture actor at when buttons change indexes.
Are you saying that no matter how much offset you create for the billboard, the capture actor never ever goes up / down?
