Can anyone tell me what this script does?

[desertjedi]

  It's called markers.sqs and is called from the init line of the "player". I'm converting the mission from progressive base spawn points to Revive AI and I'm going to remove this script. I don't think it's that important as in the second-to-last section you can see typos where someone was cloning the lines and forgot to finish editing.

The mission also has a few triggers that keep the squad leaders full of ammo mags and the AI AT Specialists full of M136 rounds but I don't think those triggers are dependent on the script below.

Anyone have any idea? (script follows)

What it is meant to do is move markers around so that players' positions and names are shown on the map screen.

However, as you've noticed, there are more than a few errors in it.
