Moving Icon on textdraw - Craft. - 14.11.2018

Essentially id like to make an area display on the screen showing a map using a textdraw. From this textdraw I would like to live update the player's location on the minimap. I already know how id like to display the map I just don't know if its possible to update the player's position like that on the minimap textdraw. Any tips are appreciated!

You'll need to calculate the player position on the Map TextDraw, which depends on the Map's size and position.
The SA Map is 6000.0m x 6000.0m, the TD grid is 640 x 480, and the map is just a part of that grid (eg. 200 x 200 at a specific position on the TD grid) so the player's coords must be transformed to that grid.

When you calculated the point on the TD grid you can create a (player) textdraw there for the icon, then keep updating it by destroying and recreating the icon.
