Attach markers

[hellstorm77 2]

I was wondering what the script code was for attaching markers to a vehicle? i want the marker to always be there even when the vehicle respawns.

Not sure if you could use attachTo but you could do this

vehicle init:

while {alive this} do
{
 "mymarker" setMarkerPos getPos this;
 "mymarker" setMarkerDir getDir this;
 sleep 1; //Decrease if you want it to be more smooth
};

I have this script and for the life of me i can't remember how to called it up on a vehicle so the marker named chopper1 will attach to the chopper so when you look at the map you see the marker moving with the chopper.

marker_units.sqf

private ["_unit","_marker","_delay"];
_unit = _this select 0;
_marker = _this select 1;
_delay = _this select 2;
while {true} do
{
_marker setMarkerAlpha 1;
while {alive _unit} do 
{
	_marker setMarkerPosLocal getPos _unit;
	sleep _delay;
};
_marker setMarkerAlpha 0;
waitUntil {alive _unit};
};

it would be this in the vehicle init:

[this, "marker_name", 1] execVM "marker_units.sqf";

it would be this in the vehicle init:

[this, "marker_name", 1] execVM "marker_units.sqf";

it didnt work

hi,

try this, it works:

you need a marker named chopper1, and write in init of vehicle:

null = [this, "chopper1", 1] execVM "marker_units.sqf";

try this if wrong sorry really tired will test tomorrow

-------init.sqf-------

[] spawn {
while{not isnull Heli1} do {"Marker" setmarkerpos getpos Heli1; sleep 0.4;};
};

--------------------------

Explanation:

Heli1 = Unit the marker follows

"Marker = Name of the marker

sleep 0.4 = time the marker updates - here 0.4 seconds
