bull_a 44 Posted November 24, 2015 Wont say its impossible, im sure someone has a bit of knowledge out there on how it can be down (probably with an extension), but from a basic-intermediate scripting standpoint, you are not able to do this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArmaMan360 94 Posted November 24, 2015 You can put down a billboard, then put a trigger on it. A really small one so that you need to stand right next to the billboard to activate the trigger. Then sync the trigger with the "Strategic Map Module"? Another way would be to use addaction on the billboard's init line.: null = this addaction ["Open Strategic Map", "openMap show"]; Hope this helps. And these are workarounds if you mean "live map" on an object like, literally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

killzone_kid 1333 Posted November 24, 2015 you can force open map for every player when you open yours instead and close it when you close yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barbolani 198 Posted November 24, 2015 no, when you want ppl to attend the map, and you must do it on very client. An easy way is to use a radio trigger, activation once, and when you are with your buddies, then tell them to pay attention.. you radio 0-0-1 and ta dah, everyone sees their map.

moricky 211 Posted November 24, 2015 You want to use openMap. forceMap is for forcing map screen in cutscenes. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loopdk 92 Posted November 24, 2015 You want to use openMap. forceMap is for forcing map screen in cutscenes. Show player's map. If forced, cannot be closed this is not what i am looking for! The thing i wanna do is have a billbord for brifing on missions. I want to be able to use the map gesture mod .. and want to be able to put in markes... in that way when i am doing a brifing i can open my map and the same map will show on the billbord Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killzone_kid 1333 Posted November 24, 2015 You want to use openMap. forceMap is for forcing map screen in cutscenes. This ^^^ Yeah, sorry, forceMap opens noninteractive map On the other hand, if you want players not being able to close it and watch you adding markers and what not, you can openMap for yourself and forceMap for other players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fn_Quiksilver 1636 Posted November 24, 2015 He wants to put a map display on a billboard, not just open the map display. Certainly not an easy thing to do. I have looked into it a bit, but not willing to invest the time to explore using screenToWorld type stuff to create a map dialog where the billboard is located onscreen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr H. 402 Posted October 28, 2019 Yes, with scripting 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neman.ekd 20 Posted October 28, 2019 As long as it works outside of the Editor Im Okay with any amount of scripts.... Hey H the creator of cTab did it on his tablet....he got the straight drone turret footage...I wonder How... Your Satellite view will look great on an screen too...😉 Only if I can Assemble the dawn satellite backpack 😔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr H. 402 Posted October 28, 2019 I'm not at home so I can't run tests on your issue @neman.ekd btw with the satellite mod you can also access the satellite by deploying an antenna and connecting it to the U.T.D. tablet. Both can be found in the inventory items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
