Clicking on minimap

I'm trying to make an object appear on the layout, based on where I clicked on the map. I tried using the MaptoLayout, but didn't manage to make it work

So what did you try and what didn't work about it? Try including a bit more information...

MapToLayoutX/Y takes a map co-ordinate (ie. 0 to width/height of the map) and you're passing in MouseX in layout co-ordinates. Try MouseX - Minimap.X or something like that.

Can you post your CAP file or a simplified CAP that has the same problem?

The problem is that clicking on minimap doesn't work. The solution is to use a hidden object that can be clicked on, (box works well for that).

Here's a quick example:

PS: I forgot my box.net password, now where did I write it down.

Your example doesn't open, something about an abnormal program termination, but I think I understand what you mean, I'll try it.

You probably need to update to the newest version, or at least the same one he used.

That example was made with version 99.84.

Here are the events I used

+ MouseKeyboard: Mouse is over Box
-> Sprite: Set position to Minimap.MapToLayoutX(MouseX-Minimap.X), Minimap.MapToLayoutY(MouseY-Minimap.Y)

+ System: Start of layout
-> Box: Make Invisible
-> Box: Attach to object Minimap with 0 padding[/code:cmyymoiz]
