Draw on map?

[gc8 977]

Hi

Is it possible to draw on the map? I have seen some missions draw on custom map control but Idk about main map. how would this be done?

i just need to draw a circle.

(using drawEllipse)

thx

If you just need an ellipse on the main map you can create a local marker

That could be alright. But how do I mouse position etc?

do you mean you want to have, say, the player draw on the map?

afaik you can get the mouse position by handling the 'onMouseMoving' event for the main display.

but it may be easier to use the onMapSingleClick function, depending on what you're trying to achieve

Thats just what i need.

But i get event triggered only on key press for the map. but not on mouseMouse

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["onMouseMoving", "hint str _this;"]; // does not trigger
(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["keyDown", "hint str _this;"];

if you mean to draw on map while in game youre talking about a feature of ACE called ACE Tools

ok well if theres a way to get mouse pos thats all i need.

mouse click pos wont do, need moving mouse pos on the map.
