I have successfully made a minimap… It is an orthographic camera with the view port scaled down to the appropriate size. My question is: How would i make it so that instead of showing the actual object it shows an icon?
here is a mock up i made for an example:

Simply use two cameras with different layermasks. So each object actually has both visual representations but the one is only seen by your main camera and the other only by your minimap camera. Simply place the minimap symbols (which should be a child of the actual object) on a seperate layer (you would call that layer “minimap” ;)) and let the minimap camera render only this layer. In your maincameras culling mask you should exclude the minimap layer. That’s all.
