Written Tutorial

Step 1: Add the Actor

The first step in setting a POI is to simply add an instance of the actor BP_QuestMapPro_POI to your scene and set its location to the location of the actual point of interest. For this example we have a simple crate.

Step 2: Set Name, Icon and Color

Once the actor has been placed, set the variables for Name, Icon and Color to reflect how you want the POI to appear in the various Quest Map Pro systems. Note: Color can be ignored if Use POI Color from Actor is set to false on your Systems Manager in your controller.
