how do i make the minimap accurately show where the player is standing on the PlayerPoint

[thorny burrow]

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local LobbyFolder = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Lobby")
local MapFolder = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Map")
local MapFrame = script.Parent.MinimapFrame
local playerpoint = MapFrame.PlayerPoint

local Camera = Instance.new("Camera")
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.FieldOfView = 3
MapFrame.CurrentCamera = Camera

if MapFolder then

local TeamASpawns = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("TeamASpawns")
local TeamBSpawns = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("TeamBSpawns")
local Lobby = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Lobby")

local folders = {MapFolder, TeamASpawns, TeamBSpawns, Lobby}

for _, folder in ipairs(folders) do
    for _, object in ipairs(folder:GetDescendants()) do

        if object:IsA("BasePart") then
            local Clone = object:Clone()
            Clone.Parent = MapFrame
        end

    end
end

end

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if HumanoidRootPart then
Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 3000, 0), HumanoidRootPart.Position)
end
end)

local playerpoint = MapFrame.PlayerPoint
...

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    if HumanoidRootPart then
-- playerpoint not moved or updated in any way
        Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 3000, 0), HumanoidRootPart.Position)
    end
end)```

[thorny burrow]

it didnt work

@buoyant perch

[buoyant perch]

wdym

[thorny burrow]

not accurate

the white dot is me

@buoyant perch

[buoyant perch]

wdym not accurate?

so make it accurate?

wait wait wait

[thorny burrow]

how?

[buoyant perch]

don't tell me

[thorny burrow]

thats the whole question i had

the script has no errors

[buoyant perch]

did you just copy+paste this in and expect it to do something?

[thorny burrow]

no

u didnt change anything

what am i supposed to do im asking u

[buoyant perch]

-# you'd be surprised how many people just paste in random code expecting things to magically work

[thorny burrow]

yea i know

is it the Vector3.new(0, 3000, 0)

?

am i supposed to change that

its confusing

[buoyant perch]

i assume just position the playerpoint under the camera?

like

it should always be at the center

you probably don't even need to move it, just put it in the center lol

[thorny burrow]

yea whats the center 😭

xyz

idk it

[buoyant perch]

oh for guis?

thats easy

[thorny burrow]

yea

[buoyant perch]

anchor=0.5,0.5 position=fromscale(0.5,0.5)

[thorny burrow]

alr thanks

[thorny burrow]

wait u understood me wrong

[buoyant perch]

it basically moves the 'center' of the frame to the % of 0~1

instead of just being topleft at 0,0

[thorny burrow]

the position of the white dot (which is the player) is supposed to be accurate at the place the player is standing

[buoyant perch]

ya, which is coincidentally the center of the frame, right?

[thorny burrow]

yea

[buoyant perch]

you're moving the camera directly over the player, so the player is always at the center, ya?

[thorny burrow]

yea

[buoyant perch]

so just put a dot at the center and stop overthinking it?

[thorny burrow]

hm lemme try

now it isnt displaying the map

[buoyant perch]

for other players though, you're asking about translating world vector3 coordinate into a local vector2 coordinate relative to the viewportframe's camera

[buoyant perch]

backgroundtransparency=1 and double check your script errors

[thorny burrow]

alr

[buoyant perch]

anyway, this is a bit harder than being able to cheat thanks to the camera always being centered on the player

but essentially, you would need to translate the relative coordinate from the camera into 2d vector, and then put that relative to the viewportframe

you obv need to know how to code to make this

and need to know some geometry math like working with vec3's and vec2's

[thorny burrow]

i do know i just find this hard to do for some reason

yeaa

[buoyant perch]

and how to translate between different coordinate frames

its just math

[thorny burrow]

alright bro thanks it worked

i changed the vec

[buoyant perch]

easy for the localplayer since you can cheat like that 👍 but you can't do that for other players, if you want them to be a dot on the minimap too

[buoyant perch]

for other players it gets a bit trickier

[thorny burrow]

yea i have the local script inside the minimap

** You are now Level 12! **

[grave mountain]

looks like codify

[thorny burrow]

whats codify

[grave mountain]

https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/4749111907/Codify-Convert-anything-to-code

it basically turns an instance into lines of code

[buoyant perch]

... you need a $13 plugin ... to transcribe an instance into code?

wtf

actual scam

[grave mountain]

what

i dont remember it being $13

[buoyant perch]

uh hang on thats probably local currency

[grave mountain]

i think they changed that

[buoyant perch]

USD$9

[grave mountain]

no its also $13 for me

[buoyant perch]

either case who tf is paying $10 to do this

[grave mountain]

dude what

i swear it was free

like

2 - 3 years ago maybe idk

might be hallucinating but whatever idrk

[buoyant perch]

actual scam

[grave mountain]

is this even the real one

itch.io?? 😭

[thorny burrow]

oh hell no

id'e rather do that shi my self

not hard
