Any Scripts for this?

Any scripts for a map in the corner of the screen with an arrow showing where you are?

No, the nature of it, would make it insanely hard to script, in a way it could be used by others, infact as far as I can tell, noone even made one for personal use either, because even making such would be a scripting nightmare.

However there is a way to do it all through eventing: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/6679-creating-a-mini-map-without-using-scripts/

If you're talking about minimaps, these two maybe your solutions:

If you're talking about the position of the current map in the whole world, you can do it via events after you've a picture of the whole world and another picture which is a dot:

1. Create a variable storing the current map id. I call the variable "Map ID" here.

2. Create a common event showing the whole world picture at either corner and the dot picture at the current part of the whole world by using "Map ID" to adjust its position relative to the whole world picture.

(You've to map each map id to the corresponding position of the whole world picture yourself)

3. Create events in every map that triggers once whenever players enter that map. They set "Map ID" as the current map id.

(Or you can just use script as "Operand" of "Control Variables" to set "Map ID" as $game_map.map_id without creating those events in every map)

It's just a vague idea, but maybe this will work for you :)

yes, search for "Mini Map" on this forum - there are several tutorials how to do this. Some use scripts, a few use pure eventing.

Hmm, didn't know that existed, and is pretty cool, although the eventing option seems to do a better job, neverless It's nice to know that exists.

The scripts are good, but how would i make it only show up on the world map?

In eventing, It's easy/straight forward, but for the scripts, you'll have to read through the script instructions to see how to do that, it all depends how they went about scripting such(they could use map notetags, script calls, listing switch map/pic names/map IDs in the actual script, ect).

I've moved this thread to RGSS3 Script Requests. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


Did you check the scripts to see if they said anything about running only on certain maps? The second one (says it uses map notetags) might.
