Tutorial link
1 Capture you scene and create a map
In Order to proper test you scene you need to create a visual representation of you level but fortunaly we have a component call BP_MapWorldCapture the location is inside Actors/BP_MapWorldCapture, to proper use this actor you need to create 2 target points in you scene the first one you name LowerRightCorner and the second one you name UpperLeftCorner note tha the name is not import we just using for organization, you need to place those component in a way they to a zipp line so we can create a square map of you scene, now you need to add another actor call BP_MapBoundaries locate at Actors/MapBoundaries/BP_MapBoundaries on you add this actor you need to add the target points references that actor will set at the center of the square buy default once you done that you can add your BP_MapWorldCapture actor and follow the step 2.
2 Create the texture of you scene
In the actor BP_MapWorldCapture is only required to add the reference of the BP_MapBoundaries you can controll the z postion of the actor but now the x or y now in your BP_MapWorldCapture you need to select the SceneCapture in game and generate a texture
3 Map settings
on the folder MapSettings in the DT_MapSettings you can setup your paraments such as the texture of map you have created more information check the tooltip in the varaibles, one more important thing in the BP_MapBoundaries you need to set up the varaibles Map Datable Row Id to the row id settings you want so in this way tou can have multiple maps
4 Actor setup
You need to add the BPC_WorldMap to actor that are based in character ther is some methods that is required to start this actor in order to work right, the event StartMap will trigger all the the fuction and method needed to start the map fuctions and ToogleMap this event will show and hide the map this method will get the owner actor cast to character and get the player controller and open the map
