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.)  House / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Forester Lodge / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Forest Border / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Forest Triangle / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Forest Square / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Calvary / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Church / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Chapel / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Cross / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Rock / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Bunker / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Fortress / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Fountain / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Spring / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Viewpoint / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Tower / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  View Tower / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Water Tower / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Lighthouse / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Quay / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Buoy / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Fuel Station / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Hospital / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Light / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Fence / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Wall / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Hide / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Bus Stop / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Bus Station / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Road / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Forest / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Crane / Unknown  Transformer / Unknown  Transmitter / Unknown  Stack / Unknown  Ruin / Unknown  Tourism / Unknown 01PLACEHOLDER01  Hill / Unknown (this marker seems to be invisible.

Lutz-HH Â Â 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

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
