The **AC\_RadarManager** is a component responsible for managing the **Radar/Compass UI** in the framework. It tracks cardinal directions, player orientation, and important tracked elements dynamically. The system updates based on camera movement, ensuring efficient and optimized performance.
It is added to the **PlayerController** class by default **(PC\_SoulslikeFramework).**
### **How It Works**
* **Initialization**
* The `Initialize` function sets up all necessary properties such as the UI element, provided cardinal entries & the player icon.
* **Interval Based Updates & Optimization**
* The **Update Timer** is controlled by `SetupUpdateTimer()`, which p**auses updates** when necessary.
* #### **Cardinal & Element Tracking**
* The **`RefreshCardinals`** function adjusts the position of the provided cardinal letters based on the camera rotation using calculation methods to ensure correct alignment.
* **Tracked Elements (`RefreshTrackedElements()`)**
* Dynamically updates tracked icons (e.g., quest markers).
* Uses `TrackedComponents[]` to store active elements.
* Icons **clamp at a fixed radar range**, preventing off-screen distortion.
