daniel-davies 10 Posted June 22, 2019 Hi guys! I want to create a script where the player clicks on a marker on the map (taken from the array "availableBuildings") in order to confirm their "base location". They have to click the same marker location twice in order to confirm. This is what I got so far: /////////////////////////////////////// // Click on map to choose base location /////////////////////////////////////// _blds = nearestObjects [[worldSize / 2, worldSize / 2, 0], ["Land_i_Shed_Ind_F"], 15000]; missionNamespace setVariable ["availableBuildings", _blds, true]; _markerArray = []; playSound "BIS_WL_Sector_WEST"; { _markerName = format ["marker_%1", _forEachIndex]; _markerstr = createMarker [_markerName, position _x]; _markerstr setMarkerShape "ICON"; _markerstr setMarkerText ""; _markerstr setMarkerType "loc_Tourism"; _markerstr setMarkerSize [0.85, 0.85]; _markerstr setMarkerColor "ColorOrange"; _markerArray pushBack _markerName; } forEach (missionNamespace getVariable "availableBuildings"); markerstr = createMarker ["marker_confirmation", [0,0,0]]; _handleMarker = ["marker_confirmation", 0, 1] spawn BIS_fnc_blinkMarker; markerstr setMarkerShape "ICON"; markerstr setMarkerText " Selected Starting Zone - close map to confirm"; markerstr setMarkerType "Select"; markerstr setMarkerSize [1.8, 1.8]; markerstr setMarkerColor "ColorBlue"; markerstr setMarkerAlpha 0; addMissionEventHandler ["MapSingleClick", { params ["_units", "_pos", "_alt", "_shift"]; _nearestMarker = [allMapMarkers, _pos] call BIS_fnc_nearestPosition; markerstr setMarkerPos (getMarkerPos _nearestMarker); markerstr setMarkerAlpha 1; if (isNil _nearestMarker) then { if (getMarkerPos _nearestMarker distance _pos >= 300) then { playSound "BIS_WL_Selected_WEST"; markerstr setMarkerColor "ColorGreen"; { deleteMarker _x } forEach (missionNamespace getVariable "availableBuildings"); }; }; }]; Obviously this isn't completely functional yet. I need help to make it fully functional. Can anyone please help? Thanks for your time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daniel-davies 10 Posted June 22, 2019 Right, my bad. I was indeed. Could either of you, or anyone else, help me figure out how to allow for a two-click verification of the choice that the player selects? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could utilize onDoubleClick, works similar to onMapSingleClick, alternatively you could keep a timestamp for every single click and trigger your action if 2 timestamps happened within a certain timeframe to emulate a double click, quite a few ways actually.

Larrow 2794 Posted June 22, 2019 Just use a MouseButtonDblClicked EH on the map control.

Thank you so much Larrow! Some of these scripting commands I didn't even realize existed actually haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
