Hello I am trying to make a minimap on my missions UI. I saw a few posts but they are out-dated. Is there a way to make a dialog that has the information of the gps??? I am new to this hopefully someone can help me out.

I can do createdialog "rscminimap"; but you can't move then because you have a dialog open. When I try to do this with cutRsc ["RscMiniMap","PLAIN"]; it gives me an error that RscMiniMap doesn't exist...

Okey I got this so far I got three separate files 1 where the dialog is at, 1 where the map layout is at and 1 where (it doesn't work) it should find the player location.

The map is being displayed just fine and when you spawn it shows your first position but it doesn't update it. I got this so far:

fn_gpsPosition.sqf

http://prntscr.com/70fp0t

common.hpp (there is more but too much to show it functions as it should)

http://prntscr.com/70fpap

ui.hpp

http://prntscr.com/70fpoc

As you can see it updated it where I spawned but isn't live. When you move it doesn't follow (As you can see the player isn't on the middle.)

http://prntscr.com/6zy6ev

Hopefully someone can help me with this. This is really bothering me for days now.

I've been working on basically the same thing but just using scripts and not resource files. I can create the map fine and still move my player without issues. But centering on my player isn't working. It is updating and moving as I move, just not with the center as my player.

[] spawn {
disableSerialization;
_mmap = findDisplay 46 ctrlCreate ["RscMapControl", -420];
_mmap ctrlSetPosition [-0.6, 0.4, 0.4, 0.4];
_mmap ctrlCommit 0;
while {true} do {
	_mmap ctrlMapAnimAdd [0, 0.05, player];
	ctrlMapAnimCommit _mmap;
};
};

It seems to be treating the center as if it were still in the middle of the screen and the map were still full sized.
