As in a radar map?

I did it as a 2D image for the hud...

And I as I remember it's easy math, just get the pixel cordinate x&y subtract half the width&height (if you want the center to be 0) devide it by the whole width& height and multiply the result by the scale of the map.

So it would be something like...
x#=(Pixel_X-(ImageWidth(map)/2))/ImageWidth(map)
z#=(Pixel_Y-(ImageHeight(map)/2))/ImageHeight(map)
PositionEntity(obj,x#*Scale#,0,z#=*Scale#)
