Question about placing several markers

[alleycat 28]

while {true} do
{





{ 
	 if ((_x isKindOf "Man") and (isPlayer _x)) then 
	 { 
		_markerstr = createMarker ["markername",getpos _x];
		_markerstr setMarkerShape "ICON";
		_markerstr setMarkerType "mil_dot";		 






	 }; 
} forEach Allunits; 


sleep 10;

};

this is supposed to place a marker every 10 seconds on the player position. However it only places one the first time and then stops placing, although the loop is still running. Any advice? I want it to place a new marker for every new sequence of the loop.

Probably due to every marker name having to be unique. You have to generate a new name each time:

[b]_markercount = 0;[/b]

while {true} do
{
{ 
	 if ((_x isKindOf "Man") and (isPlayer _x)) then 
	 {
		_markerstr = createMarker [[b][url="https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/format"]format[/url] ["markername%1", _markercount][/b], getpos _x];
		_markerstr setMarkerShape "ICON";
		_markerstr setMarkerType "mil_dot";	
		[b]_markercount = _markercount + 1;[/b]
	 }; 
} forEach Allunits; 

sleep 10;
};
