Custom Character Minimap Icon

[McSchmidty]

I've been looking all over the place for some sort of tutorial, but the only ones I could find was just making random minimap icons at hand. I just need some help giving my custom character his own icon on the map.

I haven't looked through it my self, but this http://forums.kleientertainment.com/files/file/379-minimap-icon-sample/ should be what you're looking for

All minimap icons are done the same way. Characters are simply prefabs, after all.

I've already seen that, but I still don't understand it doesn't exactly come with instructions. Again i'm not trying to make some separate icon, just a custom one that my character uses. I'm still very new to modding and such, I just need a little guidance.

The important parts:

In modmain.lua:

--Load AssetsAssets = {	Asset("IMAGE", "images/youricon.tex"),	Asset("ATLAS", "images/youricon.xml"),}--Add the new atlasAddMinimapAtlas("images/youricon.xml")

In your prefab's fn function:

inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon("youricon.tex")
