Make a transparent marker on map

[Play3r 147]

i am using Pronks Furniture script and i just can't make a transparent marker on the map to Black list some part of the map,

all the markers i make shows up in game.

 

i got to F6 -> areas -> and select rectangle

then i put in size 200 X 200  // All i change in attributes 

name it Bl_Mkr01

 

Anyone with a idea how to fix it.

depending on what you are doing there is also a  setMarkerAlphaLocal

It is for a SP mission.

I remember using the above in one of my missions and as I recall it only fully worked when I placed the command in a trigger. Using it in the init.sqf for some not specified reason did not work

You are absolut right you have to make a trigger 

ConD : True

ACT : Bl_Mkr setMarkerAlpha 0;

 

Thx for the help.

From your first post, it sounds as though you are creating your markers in the editor. Why not use the alpha slider?

Doesn't need to be a trigger, can be done in any of the inits (init/initServer/initPlayerLocal) or anywhere for that matter. You just need the correct marker name and setMarkerAlpha will work. Also, if it's SP and being placed from within the editor, @Harzach's would be ideal.

That i got to see if i can find , did not know there was one in editor..

 

@Harzach i have being playing with the Editor for almost a year and a half and i did not know about the Alpha slider.. 

 

i have never paid any attention to the slider Thx for the help..

The editor holds many features that most people probably are not aware of. It can pay to spend 30 minutes just poking around!
