Can this be done in GameSalad?

Hey everyone,

Can you create a miniMap that when you dot scrolls up, the map follows or scrolls down with it? Like this one here:

whenever the dot goes up, you see more of the map and obstacles ahead.

Thanks for any answers!

    I created a mini-map in BOT, which had an old school video game feel to it. I also had a radar in my first GameSalad game called Photics: Revisions - Course Correction.

    Basically, it involves figuring out the ratio. I had asteroids appear on the radar by constraining the radar blips to a fraction of the actual actor locations in the scene. A base value added to the fractional value allows the positioning of the radar. This base value could be customized to let the player put the radar wherever they want on the screen.

    @colander, Hi, I do know how to make a character scroll with the camera, however I couldn't make my dots scroll with the camera. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?
    thanks :)
