Hide unit icons

[gc8 971]

Hi

how do you hide unit icons for certain players? I mean these blue icons: https://imgur.com/BF9prqJ

 

And don't tell me it's only from difficulty settings :)

 

thx!

            mapContentFriendly=0;
            mapContentEnemy=0;
            mapContentMines=0;

probably something I cannot change via script?

Or description.ext setting will also do if possible?

You can try to handle with commands like

removeDrawIcon

updateDrawIcon

and other icon related commands

It doesn't say in those pages how to obtain the identifier needed for those commands

If you unPBO the following addon:
@ui_f_data.pbo
You can find the possible icons inside this folder:
ui_f_data\map\vehicleicons
For example:
If you want to use "iconman_ca.paa" you will write "iconman" on the texture string.

I'm afraid the easiest way is to hide them by the difficulty setting, then display what you need with your condition in the EH draw.

Hey that's nice command, just what I needed. Except it hides player too with the first parameter. Guess I have to draw player icon(s) my self then

[HazJ 1288]

Yeah, that's what I do.

Anyone know path to the default player map icon?

[gc8 971]

Think I found it:  "\a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\islandmap\iconplayer_ca.paa"

 

then just the center image

So you need something like:

 

disableMapIndicators [true,true,true,true];
cond = true;  // variable  you can toggle true/false for the player icon display
0 = findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", "  
  _map = _this select 0;
  _color1 = [side player] call BIS_fnc_sideColor;
  _color2 = [1,0.3,0.3,1];
  _alpha = [0,1] select cond;
  _color1 set [3,_alpha];
  _color2 set [3,_alpha];
  _map drawIcon [  
    getText (configfile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> typeOf vehicle player >> 'icon'),  
    _color1,  
    getPosVisual player,  
    18,  
    18,  
    getDirVisual vehicle player  
  ];
  _map drawIcon [  
    '\a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\islandmap\iconplayer_ca.paa',  
    _color2,  
    getPosVisual player,  
    24,  
    24,  
    360  
  ];
