The best way to make a world map that can be used with UI.

Hello,

I'm using new UI. I have a world based on tiles (for example like Minecraft seen from above). I want to create and update (all via script) an image of the map of the world. On this map, each tile should be represented by a square of some color and of some fixed dimensions (e.g. 10x10px).

I want to be able to put this map into a ScrollRect with some fancy scrollbars. What's the most efficient way to do this?

I know there is something like Texture2D - SetPixels, but is it the best (or maybe the only) way? If so, how do I proceed?

Please, help.

Cheers!

I'm not too familiar with this stuff, but I think you could use a RenderTexture for the map. You could have the RenderTexture display as a camera with a GUI background.
