pretty sure he also meant move it up at the same time
You can't move the camera.

I know nothing of coding and could be wrong, but what about that top-down view playertype?

If you know nothing about coding, you shouldn't really judge that it might not be possible. Like saying flying is impossible to do, but then in a week, someone can fly.

the server can

but the client can't, which would make doing something like a minimap with moving the camera a lot more annoying

Could an image be mounted to the player through an item, called "map", that creates the camera and the minimap?

I think I'll write something like this.

I highly, highly doubt this is possible.
Unless you had some relation with the server and client, where the server fires raycasts on a whole map and sends information to the client, and then the client decrypts the info.

I don't understand how the earlier statement of saving bricks and doing behind-the-scenes rendering won't work. Perhaps every 5 minutes or via a manual command it can refresh?

you need to stop posting gibberish in an effort to seem intelligent

do you have the slightest idea of what you are talking about?

Ok, I saw a private thing, so what is that thing? PS: I have been looking. Thanks. Please keep trying for that map!

oh yeah it fire raycast...

What I am saying is that the server and the client need to both have an add-on installed.
The server would basically scan the map, and send the data it scanned to the client.
k?

scan
raycast
no. this is the worst idea ever. simple logic for how this would be done:
- plant brick
- get pos of each stud
- check array
- get heighest brick
- if higher, convert color
- store color and height
- send client x y r g b.
