[SOLVED] Game developer {General Question on Map System}

Question

I was wondering how into a game, like Sea of Thieves, is created the system of the X postion mark. What I mean is that a player pick up a map and an X mark is shown, and if that player goes into that position, he will find something (an item object for example). There is some system used like “geoip” of the world map or what its used here?! Cheers

Answer 1

I think that's just x and y coordinates, sometimes z. y'know, like a graph! They get the x,y value of the object, and display that value on your map as that X mark.

Answer 2

Thx so much man!! I thought it was more complicated but now I’ve got how it works!
Cheers!!
