displaying player in map

[prostetnic]

i have not made a map for ofp since  version 1.2...so bare with me.

how do i get the players position constantly in the map? i remember something to do in init.sqs or something..but i can't remember what.

Use a script and a marker.

markername setmarkerpos(getpos unitname)

you'd need to loop that naturally, so the whole thing would go

1. write in your init.sqs   [] exec "marker.sqs"

2. in editor create a dude named dude and a marker called marker1

3. make a   marker.sqs   named script file in your mission folder and open it with notepad or whatever you're using.

4. write this little piece of script in the file

#loop
"marker1" setmarkerpos getpos dude
~0.1
goto "loop"

5. there is no 5.

Doesn't the player's position appear if you are in Cadet mode?    (No, I don't really know, I've never played C mode.)

[Artak]

It does Macguba, and I never play in C-mode either
