To change the size of the map, change the constant map_size in the global game settings. The lower the variable, the larger the map.

Please post reviews.

List:

CODE

/*
---Constants---

To change constants, open up the Global Game Settings, go to Constants,
and you can change the constants. The map size gets larger when the map_size
constant is made smaller.

---Codes---

-Draw Event-

First, you need to put in the code that draws the sprite so that the automatic
drawing isn't overwritten by the map.

If you have Pro...

draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,x,y,image_xscale,imag
e_yscale,
image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha);

If you don't have Pro...

draw_sprite(sprite_index,image_index,x,y);


Next, is the color of the object on the map.

draw_set_color(**color here**);


Then, you draw the shape.

For an ellipse...

draw_ellipse(view_xview[map_view]+horizontal_indent+x/map_size,
view_yview[map_view]+vertical_indent+y/map_size,view_xview[map_view]
+horizontal_indent+x/map_size+sprite_width/map_size,view_yview[map_view]
+vertical_indent+y/map_size+sprite_height/map_size,false);

For a rectangle...

draw_rectangle(view_xview[map_view]+horizontal_indent+x/map_size,
view_yview[map_view]+vertical_indent+y/map_size,view_xview[map_view]
+horizontal_indent+x/map_size+sprite_width/map_size,view_yview[map_view]
+vertical_indent+y/map_size+sprite_height/map_size,false);

For a sprite...
-Pro

draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,view_xview[map_view]+horizontal_indent+x/map_size,
view_yview[map_view]+vertical_indent+y/map_size,image_xscale/map_size*sprite_width,
image_yscale/map_size*sprite_height,image_angle,image_blend,ima
ge_aplha);

-Lite

draw_sprite_stretched(sprite_index,image_index,view_xview[map_view]+horizontal_indent+x/map_size,
view_yview[map_view]+vertical_indent+y/map_size,image_xscale/map_size*sprite_width,
image_yscale/map_size*sprite_height);

---Background---

draw_set_alpha(back_alpha);
draw_set_color(back_color);
draw_rectangle(view_xview[map_view]+horizontal_indent,view_yview[map_view]+vertical_indent,view_xview[map_view]+horizontal_indent+room_width/map_size,view_yview[map_view]+vertical_indent+room_height/map_size,false);

---Constants---
Constant | Default Value
map_size | 16
back_color    | c_dkgray
back_alpha | 0.5
map_view | 0
horizontal_indent | 5
vertical_indent | 5

Good!

[loverock125]

Hmm it does create a minimap,but you should make it easier to edit it by using variables in the create event,that way if someone wants to adjust it the way he wants,he would only have to change the create variables of an object.But as far as it works,people may want to use this

How do you edit the map?

[jimn346]

I'll add constants that you can edit in the global game settings.

EDIT: Added constants and instructions.

Nice tutorial, but do you have to use constants?

[Ceryt56]

Do you have any tutorials?

[MegaByte Games]

This is awesome, but also very simple

I don't want to download it but can you please post a list? I don't want that crappy virus again. (I got rid of it before I shut down. Yeah.. )

Also does the code work with 6.1 PRO?

I don't know, but probably.

nice idea. i would suggest using constants in the create as i have in my minimap turorial, it makes it less complicated and easier for new people to understand
