delet player player markers on player disconect WORKED OUT!!!!

[hogmason 2]

Ok so a few months ago i started a post regarding how to delete player markers when the player disconects. This post had a heap of response from other members

and none of us new how this could be achieved any way i was dicking around last night and found an easy way to do this.

Now this has been tested on a dedi and works fine. THis will delete the players marker when he is killed and when he disconects from the server.

in your init place

[player] execVM "player_mkrs_INIT.sqf";

player addEventHandler ["killed", {_this execVM "player_mkrs_INIT.sqf"}];

player_mkrs_INIT.sqf

{
[player] execVM "player_mkrs.sqf";
}
forEach units (group player);

player_mkrs.sqf

_HOG_player_UNITS = _this select 0;
_HOG_player_TEXT = (name _HOG_player_UNITS);
_HOG_player_COLOUR = "ColorGreen";
_HOG_player_TYPE = "mil_triangle";
_HOG_player_SIZE = setMarkerSize [0.5,0.5];
_HOG_player_mkrName = Format ["mkr_%1",random 100000];

       _HOG_player_marker = createMarkerLocal [_HOG_player_mkrName,getPosATL _HOG_player_UNITS];
	_HOG_player_marker setMarkerTypeLocal _HOG_player_TYPE;
	_HOG_player_marker setMarkerColorLocal _HOG_player_COLOUR;
	_HOG_player_marker setMarkerTextLocal _HOG_player_TEXT;
                         _HOG_player_marker setMarkerSizeLocal _HOG_player_SIZE;
	_HOG_player_marker setMarkerDirLocal (direction _HOG_player_UNITS);

         while {alive _HOG_player_UNITS} do 
	     {
	        _HOG_player_marker setMarkerPosLocal getPosATL _HOG_player_UNITS;
	        _HOG_player_marker setMarkerDirLocal (direction _HOG_player_UNITS);
               sleep 0.5;
         };
               deleteMarker _HOG_player_marker;

Hope this helps as i know a few of you guys / gals are looking for a way to do this

any feedback bugs or ideas would be great as i will do a bit of work and more testing and release it as a script in my upcoming script pack

The event handler you used is killed, means when he dies, the script will execute, how about "onPlayerDisconnenct"? I think it will work only when he disconnect and not when he dies.
