I'm currently working on a title called "Behind Enemy Lines". Inspired by the 2001 movie. I need help with one problem. How do I make a mini map such as one in Metal Gear Solid? If someone sends me a source code, I would appreciate it.

I guess you mean the radar screen on the top right of the screen.
In the further tutorials book for DB, tutorial 23 (HUD), it tells you how to make something like that for the example game. It might not be exactly what you're after but it should give you some ideas.

for those of you who don't know what i mean. I mean yes, the HUD on the top right corner that shows a small map indicating where your enmies and where the rooms are in real-time synchronizing with the actual game.

If you want to make a minimap, then yo ucan do the following (pweudo code):




you could then run that code for every enemy, getting a screen X and Y co=ordinate on which to draw a dot or whatever you want to use to indicate an enemy.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

There are 10 people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
