Markers that follow players on Map

[solo1zone]

I have been toiling with a script that I can't seem to get working? I am doing a mulitplayer game and I want the team to only see a marker moving around the map to specify the group players locations.

in my player init: i have [this,EComMarker] exec "UpdatePlayerMarker.sqs"

** EComMarker is the name of the Marker on the map a "Dot"

UpdatePlayerMarker.sqs

_player = _this select 0
_playermarker = _this select 1
~0.5
#Repeat
_playermarker setPos [getpos _player select 0, getpos _player select 1]
~3
goto "Repeat"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.......

use "setmarkerpos" instead of "setpos"

Also make sure you enclose the marker names in quotes when initializing the script.

[player,"markername"] exec "markermove.sqs"

Code: [Select]

_player = _this select 0
_playermarker = _this select 1
~0.5
#Repeat
_playermarker setmarkerPos getpos _player
~3
goto "Repeat"
