Interactive World map

Hello guys,
I'm trying to make a interactive/clickable map for my game: once the player selects one country, the camera zooms to that area and show the different levels he can play.

I was thinking about making buttons with the shape of the countries, but I'm having problems with the anchors. If I modify the size of the window, everything moves around.



Is there a way to fix this or should I try another method?

thanks a lot in advance

 

HI,
I think you should work with relative sizes and postions. You could have a default map (800x600 for example) and then adjuste positions and sizes of countrys, like this:

country1Postion.x = (default_country1Po.x / default_MapWidth) * current_MapWidth

Also, I dont know if buttons would be a good idea, because they have regular area. Masks would be better, where the mask would be a texture in which each country have a pixel color. Thus, identifying the pixel color in the position of the click, you know in which country the user clicked

I hope this help.

 

It works, thanks a lot
