Can I make an in-game map?

Help

You could put a game overlay that when clicked teleports you to a different area that is a map but if it has any battles in it people could just click it and get away.

Im making one of those maps kinda like fortnite, my game is a wild west game though.

This would be very hard to do and not work in the way you probably desire it to. Currently to make a minimap you would have to use a game overlay with multiple lines to create a permanent floating map however there are four main hurdles for this to work

  1. Game overlays only line wrap if they are in one of the bottom corners
  2. The character at which it line wraps is determined by the viewport width (screen width) and is variable
  3. You would have to use a coordinate system with a fitting larger display and then excerpt a section of that
  4. Some emoji’s including the squares necessary are not one character by normal counting

I do believe this is possible, however It would be Very hard. you would need to use multiple game overlays, and make a full coordinate system and it would still look pretty clunky. Maybe you could use a game overlay button which would open up a popup with a “Map” using colored block emojis.

ngl, you could make it with text, but you cant click enter,sooo…
you could make a overlay that open a popup, and then you could go through all the different places?

Maybe you can put colored squares in a game overlay, not make the overlay teleport you.

When you click on the button it shows a large map with locations on it, but you could switch the button out with an overlay.
