sarogahtyp 1109 Posted June 30, 2022 Map markers are created by adding the component MapDescriptorComponent or SCR_MapDescriptorComponent to any entity. If added to a moveable entity then marker will move with entities movement. If there is no entity at the position where you want to have a map marker at then you can just create a GenericEntity by using the Create-Subwindow of the world editor. I ll create a list with the markers which are currently possible (most of them seem to be placeholders at the moment) with the MapDescriptorComponent here: Main Type / Unit Type IMAGE Spoiler Tree / Unknown Small Tree / Unknown Bush / Unknown Building / Unknown (this marker seems to be a placeholder. Below I ll post just 01PLACEHOLDER01 when this marker appeared.)

Lutz-HH 0 Posted January 23, 2024 Thanks for sharing this! Do you have any idea how to change the size of the text, when entering additional text. No matter what value I change it stays very small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eBakedPotato 0 Posted May 6, 2024 Friendly reminder that placing a SlotMarker inside of an Area and Layer allows you to place markers such as the ones placeable on the map by players in-game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This approach doesn't consider "action markers" as Blufor position, Unknown position, supplies, vehicles, etc. To add these kind of markers: In the World Editor, and through the Resource Browser area, go to ArmaReforger > Prefabs > ScenarioFramework > Components; Drag and drop somewhere on the map an Area.et; Drag and drop a Layer.et into the Area created in the Hierarchy tree; Now, for each faction marker you want to create, do it: Drag and drop a SlotMarker.et into the Layer recently created and listed in the Hierarchy tree; Click over that SlotMarker created, go to its properties, and click on SCR_ScenarioFrameworkSlotMarker; Through the Map Marker area, give the marker a name, and select its icon, and color. P.S: for some reason, the "Faction Key" field shouldn't be used, otherwise the marker won't be shown for any player, even the configured faction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unbrauchbaer 0 Posted May 24, 2024 Hi, Thank you for the info, that makes custom markers a lot easier for me. 😄 Does anybody know though how i can set a marker of wich the size stays the same when zooming in the map? I need to mark a Circle on the map with a given radius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will change itself size but they will stay on position, so area will be visible on any zoom level 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure if we got already other solution. In Arma 3 was same problem with map markers. One my old never finished ww2 project , i spend over 1000 markers to bring trench network on map 😄 😄 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
