spawn spawning a icon om map thru trigger

[Play3r 143]

Hello 

 

I want to spawn a icon  on map after a trigger is fired 

i want to spawn the markers -> standard draw -> pickup (hd_pickup)

i have looked thru the WIKI but have not found anything that helps me.

any one who can give me the solution..

The icons you speak of are called markers. Therefore you need createMarker scripting command. Use setMarkerType to set it's shape.

 

So, insert something like this into trigger on activation field:

marker1 = createMarker ["Marker1", position player];

"Marker1" setMarkerType "hd_pickup";

"Marker1" setMarkerColor "colorBLUFOR";

This will create marker, named "Marker1" on player's position, change it's type to "pickup" and set it's color to Blufor blue.

If you want to set custom position, see setPos with the rest of Arma 3 Scripting Commands.

Thanks Janez

 

i did not think about the createmarker only the spawn function 

i have changed a little bit, after reading up on it.

 

// _handle = execVM "SPAWN\ExfilMarker.sqf";
// after heal pilot

Marker1 = createMarker ["PICK UP",getMarkerPos "pickup"];

Marker1 setMarkerType "hd_pickup";

Marker1 setMarkerColor "colorBLUFOR";

On a sidenote, you can look at script commands sorted by functionality:

 

1. Go to the Scripting Commands page
2. Click Scripting Commands by Functionality
3. Click Command Group: Markers

 

All there in plain text.

Make sure to check out the alternative syntax for most scripting commands, quite a few neat additions in the last 2 years.

If anything, we should be seeing you MORE. The biki is just data. This forum is for sharing ideas, troubleshooting and improving code, etc. 

 

Regarding createMarker, don't miss the first note.
