Waypoint markers not shown in game

[Dominaatori]

Yes I have been wondering about this ever since I got Operation Flashpoint and started making maps. I make my player anywhere.. And then I click on him and choose waypoints, then double click where I want my character to be directed to. Then I put the the name of the description of the waypoint to move here and the type to move. I also put in "Always show". And then I start the game, and here the interesting part begins. NO MARKER IS SHOWN, NO YELLOW ARROR OR ANYTHING !!! Why ? ? ? ?? ?? ? ?? ? Please help. Im so sad about this  :'(  :'(  :'(

Are you playing it on veteren mode? I think the map editor defaults to veteren mode and waypoints can only be seen on cadet mode.

Hi! Try to start a single mission before you go to the editor. Just load in a mission and then go back to the main menu. I think you may be able to see the yellow markers and the other stuff when you go to the editor now.
Hope this helps

Ah yes, this old chestnut.   The "always show" field has nothing to do with seeing yellow boxes on your monitor.   It refers to whether the waypoint appears on the map.

You do indeed have to select Cadet mode manually from the Single Missions screen (or elsewhere) to put the Mission Editor into Cadet mode.    

When designing your mission, do not use player waypoints to make things happen - use triggers instead.    Veteran mode players won't see them, and both Vet and Cadet mode players may wish to do things slightly differently from the way the waypoints suggest, which will screw things up if the waypoints do anything.
