POINT RENDERING:

• Simple / advanced
• Point classes – can be used to define the look of multiple actor classes
• Opacity changes by vertical distance
• Sweeping points close to player
• Hiding points close to player
• Docking points
• Option to use actor rotation to point’s rotation
• Rotating docked points by the angle between them and the player
• Size blending between the size of a docked point and a normal point
• Deflating points going out of range

PATH RENDERING:

• Auto subdivison
• separate points OR connected lines
• Width and color settings
• Precision parameter
• Path following surveillance (if player ignores the path, a message listener will be called)
• Removal of old path points and complete path removal once player reaches its end

COMMUNICATION:

• Both areas and points can tell the mini map if they want to look differently
• Recognition of local and global points can be defined at runtime (e.g. you can tell mini map to recognize banks, bars and other buildings once player approaches the city)
• You can stop the recognition of certain actors (e.g. stop recognizing banks, bars etc. when player goes to countryside)
• An actor (or pawn) can behave both as local or as global (can tell mini map what it wants to be and change it any time) . If a player sets bank as a destination – bank can tell minimap to stay docked
• Path can be redefined anytime
• Sending click messages to actors and listener
