Appearing Markers!

[ShadowD BOB]

Is there a way to make markers show up on the map, only when a certain trigger has been activated.   e.g  i complete an objective then get a marker coming u showing a hidden objective??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thx.

experiment with the setmarkerpos command:

"MarkerName" setMarkerPos [x, y]

the name of your marker has to be in quotes

what i'd try is putting a gamelogic where you want the marker to be, setting the marker's pos to something like [-999, -999] in the init.sqs, and then doing:

"Markername" setmarkerpos (getpos gamelogicname)

when you want the map to be updated

Or failing that... you could place the marker (where you want it) and set it's type to 'empty'.

Then when you want it visible, simply use:

"marker" setmarkertype "TYPE"

The list of TYPE's is the same as in the drop down box in the editor... eg "Marker", "Dot", "Start", "Join" etc...

I tried something similar to this, but had the marker initially set to invisible.

In a multiplayer mission, I had a trigger that, when it detected resistance, would set the marker type to "dot" (Can't remember the specific type).

However, it only appeared to work for the one player.  I thought that triggers were client side and that it would have changed that marker for each client - when that client had detected the resistance which would set the (repeating) trigger?  There wasn't any desync issues, so is there something that I was missing with trying to do that?

(Or should I just set it up server side?)
