Literally you need

# Stage1 scope
$HUD/MiniMap.add_child( $TileMap.duplicate() )

However, for minimaps they often use separate Viewport + Camera, or just a Texture (pre-rendered as asset, or automatically assembled).

This one wont clone the script and variables though, if you need that though just tell me.
