     [color="#FF0000"]_distance = _dist;[/color]
      _dir = random 360;
      _pos = [((getMarkerPos _selection) select 0) + (sin _dir) * _dist, ((getMarkerPos _selection) select 1) + (cos _dir) * _dist, 0];	   
   //_pos = ["AO",false,["safe_zone"]] call SHK_pos;

       _intellmarker = createMarkerLocal [format ["mrk%1",random 100000], _pos];
       _intellmarker setMarkerTypeLocal "hd_unknown";

Just what it says, you gave it a number but it expected a string

_intellmarker setMarkerTextLocal (str _distance);
