clear marker array & marker text via variable

[hogmason 2]

hi guys i have done a little script to create random false intell markers on a map all works fine but i need to delete the intell markers once

it reaches a set amount so i dont crowed the map to do this i have used

    _limit = count Intell_Marker_Array;	
  if (_limit > 3) then 
     {
       {deleteMarker _x} forEach Intell_Marker_Array;
     };

which works fine but it does not clear the markers in the array only on the map so every time a new marker is created the code still thinks there are over 3 markers so it deletes them again.

so i guess i need to know how to clear an array

this is how i do my array

Intell_Marker_Array = [];

// to add a marker i use this after i create the marker
Intell_Marker_Array set[(count Intell_Marker_Array), _intellmarker];

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Also how can i add txt to the marker that is a distance to an object this is what i tried but does not work

      [color="#FF0000"]_distance = random 1500;[/color]

	    [color="#FF0000"]_intellmarker setMarkerTextLocal [_distance];[/color]

Have you tried

  if (_limit > 3) then 
     {
       {deleteMarker _x} forEach Intell_Marker_Array;
         Intell_Marker_Array = [];
     };

If you instead do not want to actually clear the array, but limit the number. You could do this...

_a = 0;
while {count Intell_Marker_Array > 3} do
{
  deleteMarker (Intell_Marker_Array select _a);
  Intell_Marker_Array set [_a,-1];
  Intell_Marker_Array = Intell_Marker_Array - [-1];
};
