How to manipulate map markers before the MP briefing map screen?

[doc. caliban 34]

Hello.

 

I have the following that runs in the init.sqf:

{
	if (_x find "gz" == 0) then {
		_x setMarkerAlpha 0;
	};
} forEach allMapMarkers;

The intended markers have their alphas set to 0 when viewed in-game, but they are still visible at the MP briefing map.

 

Where should I run the code so that it will take place before the briefing map?

 

Thank you,

idk when exactly those markers are created in armas init order  I would try to make a function with preInit attribute set to 1 in functions library. Those function will run automaticaly before init.sqf is executed (see init order).

have you tried to put it in initIntro.sqf?

What I do is creating the markers when needed, instead of hiding them at start.

Thank you for the replies, guys.  Busy day today, so I may not get to try things until tomorrow.

 

Quick note: The markers are numerous area markers that are manually laid out as part of using Gaia AI scripts.  I usually just set their alpha to 0 myself just before exporting the mission to MP, but sometimes I forget.  The script is a failsafe for that.

 

Thanks again!

Guys, sorry... I'm a dummy.

 

I had the code running after this line: waitUntil {time > 0};

 

DUH.  No wonder it wasn't working.  All is well now.  I really appreciate your replies though as now I'm learning about some of the things you brought up.

 

Best,
