Minimap Widget Setup

The minimap widget is the UMG component that displays your minimap on the player's HUD.

Adding to HUD

  1. Open your player HUD widget
  2. Add the Minimap widget blueprint from the plugin
  3. Position it on your screen (typically top-right or bottom-left corner)
  4. Configure the widget properties

Widget Properties

  • Minimap Size: The dimensions of the minimap display
  • Allow Circle Mask: Enable circular minimap shape
  • Auto Rotate: Rotate minimap with player camera
  • Zoom Level: Default zoom level for the minimap
  • POI Datatable: Reference to your POI configuration

Circular vs Rectangular Minimap

The AllowCircleMask parameter controls the shape:

Auto Rotate Feature

When enabled, the minimap rotates to match the player's camera direction. The player icon stays centered while the map rotates around it.
