Hi,
I'm searching something that might help me to store position in 3D world for Minimap in my OpenWorld game.

I'm using world streamer 2 to have open world - so not every game object in the scene will be available because of streaming. So I would like to store data like quest position in the quest node. So I will be able to instantiate the properly quest marker in the UI when player starts tracking the quest.

Is there anything that migh help?

Hi,

You could use quest indicators. Normally you'll add a QuestIndicatorManager component to a GameObject, such as a Quest Giver or the target of a quest, and it will typically show an indicator above the GameObject. In your quests, you can use the Set Indicator quest action to specify that a particular GameObject should show a specific indicator. This quest action identifies the GameObject by ID, so the GameObject doesn't need to be in the currently-loaded scene(s). You can set a GameObject's ID on its Quest Giver component, Quest Entity component, or, if it doesn't have either of those, add a Quest Machine ID component to assign an ID.

How you show the indicator on a minimap depends on how you're rendering the minimap. For example, say your minimap uses a camera that points down on the current scene and renders GameObjects on specific layers (e.g., a Minimap layer). Your indicators could have children on the Minimap layer that the minimap scene will render.
