Hello everyone,

I have an issue. I'm not going to send what I have because it's extremely hard to understand and most likely horribly written because of my lack of knowledge on this subject. So lets just start from a simple approach, if I want to take a game object and put its position on a world map or mini map how would I take that 3D position and convert it to a 2D position that can be used to position the map marker?

Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Check out searches for "Unproject world coordinate to screen coordinate" or "world to screen space".
