Minimap (Widget)
The Minimap widget (WBP_LN_Minimap) is a UserWidget that displays landmarks in a top down fashion. By default the map will rotate based on the pawn or camera’s direction. Optionally, the map can be fixed to the north direction, in which case it uses the ‘North direction’ setting (found in the plugin’s Settings).
Some additional minimap settings are landmark specific, see LandmarkAsset.
Usage:
- Add a WBP_LN_Minimap to your widget.
- Use the provided slots to customise the compass’ visual appearance.
- Tweak its settings to customise the minimap’s behaviour.
See Content/Demo/Widget/WBP_LN_Demo_Hud, for an use example.
