On Screen Map

[FinalSpecimen]

I am making a game where the camera view is from the top-down, and the player must navigate a maze. I want to make a map screen so when the player presses enter, the map will display on screen with a red dot indicating the player's position. The problem is getting the dot to follow the enormously downscaled map with respect to the character's actual position on the screen. I used the 'always' condition to set the dot position to (X'Character'/25). I checked the debugger and it SAYS the position of the dot ends up being something like X = 100, Y = 200 (i.e. within the 640x480 frame, which if I set the layer's X and Y scroll rates to 0, should be centered over the frame instead of scrolling with the character). However, the dot doesn't show up. No invisible conditions or "invisible at start" have been activated. Any step I'm missing?

Hint:
Set Red Dot to Characters X and Y possition divided by X

So the problem is your Mini Map doesnt stick to the screen when your Application scrolls?

No the map itself follows the screen, but I want the red dot to mimic the character's position, just on a smaller scale so it follows the smaller map and provides an accurate to-scale representation of the player's position.

(X("Player") * (Mini Map Width)) / Frame Width (Y("Player") * (Mini Map Height)) / Frame Height

Thanks Marv, works like a charm.
