Swopping scenes

Post by grantkrieger »

Hello,

I have a basic scene and would like to do the following.

When someone hits the M key the scene changes to show a map top view of the whole scene. How would one do this ? The map top view would be 2D

I am able to do Key events however I am not sure how I would load another screen.

Thanks
JP

You could just draw a 2D texture version of the world from above on top of the current scene so it covers it up. The texture could be a pre-rendered map that may have been made in a picture editing program or you could have pre-rendered it from your game or you could just move the camera to be above the world and use that as the map.
