Moving Map Markers

[obrien979 4]

I am hoping the community can help me out.  I recently found a script that places a map maker on units as they move around the map.  In the script there was a section that displayed TypeOf the vehicle the marker was attached to.  You also had the ability to customized (Color, Shape, etc) the marker that followed.  I unfortunately deleted the file that I now I can not find it.

 

Can anyone help me find that script or know of a way to do it.

 

Thanks

Hazj unfortunately that is not what I was looking.  This particular thing was a single single that I pasted into each of the units/vehicles I wanted to keep an eye on in GPS.  It was not an add-on.

 

Thank you though

I have a very easy script that you put in the Mission description that you can pick from any of the in-game marker types you can change the color and size. The mark will follow the units around with the in game stand unit icon. When the unit is unconscious the marker will still be on the map at the location. 

 

I made this code block to use with a mission I made that has four playable squads with 12 units in each squad all playable and with Teamswitch enable. Each Squad had it's own color and indicated unit type ie AT unit AA engineer medic ect using the in-game  types found in the editor.

 

This was made for infantry units if it sounds like something you can use I will post the code later tonight

That is a script, not an addon. I will need more info else I can't help find it. :P

@obrien979

 

Put this format in your mission.init   The names of the markers can be anything you want. For example my first unit is the Company cap  Bird_Company_Cap

Now go into your editor under F5 marker type and put what you want from the list of available markers. You can change color and size. Place the markers on the map with units names and then go to each units init and put the name in the VARIABLE NAME section of that unit.

 

Now if you want the marker to be deleted when units are dead place a Trigger down on the map with

type- none

Act- anybody

Act- type Anybody

Condition- !Alive"name of unit"

On Activation - Deletemarker "name of marker"

 

 

The markers will follow the units around along with the in-game standard unit icon and be removed when units is dead.

Have fun with this very easy and simple marker script Avibird.
