Is it possible to create a mini-map without RGSS?
Yes. However, the process is of intermediate difficulty and might be quite difficult for a user who is new to the RMXP program. If you feel comfortable with simple math, switches, and variables you should do alright. Here’s how it’s done. First of all I’ve provided a working demo so you can follow along as I explain some of the concepts. The first page of EV001 is simple. All you’re doing is turning the switch that triggers the minimap on. The second pageof EV001 is a tad more complicated, but you can handle it. First of all, you’ll notice that the second page has the switch we just created as a precondition and that the event is triggered by parrallel process. Now for the event commands. The first command displays the minimap. All the settings are left at their default values except the x and y locations. They are used to position the map in the bottom right corner. The next command is used to attribute the Hero’s X location to the variable “X pos.” You can name it whatever you’d like
