CrazyChrisX 10 Posted June 29, 2014 Hello Chris here. So i wanted to make a mission here, and i wanted to add couple of markers, not any type of markers like normal ones, but kinda special markers, if i wanna call it that :P so after playing the campaign of Arma 3, i really liked the map markers that was there, like the ones where when you hover your mouse over it, lets say a blufor marker it would say something like: Lt. Smith 1st Platoon and so forth. Example below: http://i.imgur.com/YUspCcn.png (205 kB) now i have been looking on the forums incase someone has asked for this type of help in the future but with no luck :( (if someone has indeed, made a topic similar to mine, then please share the link), now i have gone on google, no result, might be me not searching for the right thing, or it might just be me who is horrible at looking for things, but anyway, i have also gone through the bis wiki, but i haven't gotten anywhere, once again might just be me. anyway if anyone could either explain to me how i do that, or direct me to a tutorial or something, it would be appreciated :) Regards Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Degman 73 Posted June 29, 2014 I think it has to be done in addon config, but I am not sure. BIS should make a simple Module which automaticaly creates these things on map - with editable informations, icons and stuff, ofc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If bis decided to make a module that adds a marker shown in the example, it would provided us mission makers more ways of doing missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted June 29, 2014 They are groupIcons, they can be interfaced with. You can have them display either as 2d (Map view) 3D ingame or both using the groupIconsvisible command Check the comref for more details Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
