Hey Chris,
For large outdoor areas, you can split the environment into multiple sections and, similar to how rooms work, assign each section to a Camera Switcher on MapRoomCode.
The only real challenge is drawing the minimap layout. You can handle that by using Images in the UI widgets and transforming them into line-based shapes, similar to how the default map shows room layouts. This way, each outdoor section can have its own map representation.
In CSHF V2, map switching between different areas (such as the Hall and Sewer) is also implemented, so it should give you a better understanding of how you can switch maps between different areas as well.
If you still have any questions, please let me know. 😊
