I’d like to implement map with settable waypoints by clickin somewhere on the map and spawning GO at that location. Ideas appreciated.
I have compass it only needs a target to point to.
someone pointed out getting xy of image and converting it to xy of world but the map is not rectangle its teared paper so i guess no go ? : ) thanks J

Hello. I don’t know if there is any way faster o more simple, but this works, i did it a lot of times. Follow the logic…:

  • If you have 2 empty objects, with exactly same transform. Lets call them MapFrame1 and MapFrame2.

  • Then, each MapFrame have as a child the map itself, the real map (called Map1 and Map2), also with same transform properties.

  • Then you scale MapFrame1 to (0.1f ,0.1f, 0.1f)

  • If you perform a raycast in the Mapframe1, detect the hit, create a emtyobject (called for example PositionDetector) in that worldposition.

  • Then make this PositionDetector child of MapFrame1…

  • Create an EmptyObject (Called PositionFinder) as a child of MapFrame2.

  • And Finally:

    PositionFinder.transform.localPosition = PositionDetector.transform.localPosition

Both Objects (PositionFinder & PositionDetector) will be in same place relative to the map. So you can use this PositionFinder as a reference to spwan what you really want.

Bye ! :smiley:
