thx!

With a simple game I made (strategy game) I made camera to move with arrow keys so if u want to make a map like warcraft 3 (that shows a green square) and limit movement before camera goes out of the field , u can make the green square move with arrow keys together with camera and limit it inside the map. You can make ur own map I cant help with that ;/ and I dont know how to make it like when clicking , you can try when clicking on mini map camera moves there , I havent done anything like that so im not sure.

if u need any further info I may be able to know tell me

The map is on an overlay scene. The plane with the map image has to be the same size as the game level, or it won’t work.

for my game, I used a camera way above the player(and also parented to the player) that uses render to texture to apply a realtime view from a camera to a plane.
