To fix the dots on the mini map.

Hi, GS dudes.
I have solved a problem about mini map as one of GS dudes helped me. He told me a web site and then I was able to find out a mini map template. And I have run into another problem. My game is scrollable, but the dots don't follow the camera. The map follows it well though. The dots belong to monster characters and both of them are spawned. Therefore, they are not be shown on layers in the scene. I also tried put some dots and monsters on the main screen, and they worked well. However, the other spawned dots still didn't follow the camera.

    Put th dots onto onto seperate layer called "minimap" and uncheck "scrollable" :)

    @LeonardDeveloper You meant that I need to put the dots on the main screen? I already tried it, but the problem is the characters are spawned by spawn actor randomly. Therefore, only one dot is stuck on the mini map, but the other dots are not.

    @gawakamy no,
    In gs there is a tab scene/actors (Above where actors usually are) go there and add a new layer and Put the dots onto onto seperate layer called "minimap" and uncheck "scrollable"

    @LeonardDeveloper Sorry to make you confused. Yes, I actually tried what you mentioned exactly. But if I don't put any dot on the main screen, the dots actor doesn't displayed onto layer tab. So there is no way to put any dot onto minimap layer. Or are there any way to do it? Thanks :)

    Make sure your dots are spawning on the right layer.

    this is the question.I too have the same problem. I believe the question he is asking is, how to make an actor on a scrollable layer spawn onto a non scroll-able layer. since it automatically spawns to same layer.

    E.i. if i haeve a ship casting a radar on the background level. I need the enemy actor to spawn the blip on the hud layer. Plz help

    Make sure the actor one uses to spawn the dots is on the HUD layer.
