making a minimap?

[Anon]

This is what I want to make:

Basically there is a big image inside the circle ‘canvas’. Now there isnt a problem if I use a square, but I have no idea if its possible with another shape (using directScrolledFrame)

Here is the source of what I tried:

Any ideas?

I suggest blending a mask image on top of the minimap which would judging from your image be a white circle on a black background.

It gets a bit more tricky if you use a display region (and not render to texture) as minimap, but it surely is possible using some alpha/stencil-test trickery or so.

Stencil map? Could work, except I also have small icons for the npcs on the minimap, how to add that?

sounds more complicated than the 1st option.
