showMap show
Operand types:

Looks like you need to leave out the '=' sign dude.

I think you're using the wrong command :

Code: [Select]

forceMap show
Operand types:
    show: Boolean
Compatibility:
    Version 1.27 required.
Type of returned value:
    Nothing
Description:
    Force map display.

Example:
    forceMap true

No, no! The forcemap command makes the map show all the time!
Can be used to make onMap intros, but not in this situation

I gathered he wanted to show the map during the mission.

"Showmap" is there so you can disable the use of the map during the game (Like BIS's escape from jail mission).

"Forcemap" is the only way to make the map show up (Albeit, it is very crude; the reticule stays up and you can't use 'onmapsingleclick').

Ha! ;D

you can hide the map in the description.ext with this

showmap = 0

and show it later in the mission with this

showMap true

Is that what you wanted?
