Anyone have any ideas on how to make a Minimap that displays tiles and actors.

Have you tried the minimap resource from StencylForge?

Yes but I need a detailed minimap that displays tiles and also displays newly spawned actors for enemys. It needs to display unlimitid actors and display newly spawned actors.

You can expand the existing version.
The display of arbitrary actors is trivial using "for each member of group", "for each actor of type" blocks, or with a region.
To display tiles you'll need code to access the Tile API, find out where are tiles and convert that information to the minimap.

Yeah but I need help I've never used for each member of group or listing so I need help also I have't used any api stuff like tiles before. Also if you put any stuff from the drawing tab the for each group/type wont go into the always block or any of the 3 main blocks in scene behaviours so how do I make it if you can't do that?

Screen Minimap, on StencylForge.
Is shows the player and any other actor on screen (literally).

Download the same behaviors from Forge. They show tiles now (Flash only!).
