how do i do this

heres my vehicle count so far in alpha II..... 2 scorpions, 1 hellbender and 2 mantas at each base, and a goliath in the middle, across from a laser turret.

with the hellbender being added im making them team specific, except for the goliath in the middle obviously

there are a few places you can get out if youre creative, but that will be blocked shortly, as well as some places you can get caught on walls near the middle and in the bases!

Just click the blue arrow button I pointed at. That'll put the minimap in the game. Once you're done with the map, you can take a screenshot from the overhead view in the editor, save it as a bmp, import it as a texture, spend half an hour trying it and resizing it, and use that as your minimap texture.

Lemme know if any of that didn't make sense and I'll try to clear it up!
