See my icon on the map

[GaryP]

A search for map icon turned up null.

I have the game in cadet mode, so how do I make it so I can see me on the map.  On some home made missions, it works, but on others it does not.  What do I have to do to make my units show up?

In cadet mode the player icon should always be shown.
However, independently of playing in cadet or veteran modes, the Mission Editor is set to be previewed in veteran mode.

It's quite strange if you're playing in cadet and the icon doesn't appear...   :-\

In veteran you can always have the SetMarkerPos trick, a certain marker that's always over the player.

Check out your Difficulty options a see if you're not using an option that might remove the player icon.

Yup, Gary!  This one drove me crazy, too, until someone here answered it for me.  ;D  If it IS just during preview in the editor that you don't see the player icons in the mission and on the map, there is a workaround. Just go to Single Player and start up any mission (in Cadet Mode). Then abort and go back to the  editor where those buggers should now work in preview.
