how to call area marker

[WaIdoZ 0]

I need help i am trying to make it where when a player step in a marker that has a trigger and when that trigger active it will replace the marker that has a trigger into a regular marker. I just dont know how to make it where the marker doesnt get called until the trigger is activate. i am still fresh with the sqf coding.

 

_trigArray = [

    [5782.864,10333.795],
    [12895.979,7353.194],
    [5517.676,9951.941],
    [1809.986,11952.15],
    [3051.818,11187.059],
    [9556.457,13465.348],
    [13416.808,12078.425],
    [8621.35,10250.979],
    [11852.628,2528.827],
    [11295.57,5227.608],
    [5482.726,4058.376],
    [7383.236,8253.998],
    [7910.444,7686.77]
    
];

_randomLA = selectRandom _trigArray;

nextA = createMarker 
    ["marker2", _randomLA];
    nextA setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE";
    "marker2" setMarkerColor "Colorred";
    "marker2" setMarkerSize [500, 500];
    "marker2" setMarkerBrush "SOLID";
    

_trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", _randomLA];

_trg setTriggerArea [500, 500, 0, false];

_trg setTriggerActivation ["ANYPLAYER", "PRESENT", true];

_trg setTriggerStatements 
[
  "this",                
  "bob, deleteMarker nextA",        
  ""                    
];

bob = createMarker 
    ["marker1", _randomLA];
    bob setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE";
    "marker1" setMarkerColor "Colorblack";
    "marker1" setMarkerSize [500, 500];
    "marker1" setMarkerBrush "SOLID";

You are recreating the same marker. Why?  You can just change the existing one. That's what commands like setMarkerColor are for.

well i was going to make it where you can see the area trigger on the map so i dont have to make another marker but not sure how i do that. so i script 2 areas marker so that one is to trigger the event and the other is the event. the reason why i dont use one marker is because I want it where you can look around the area before you walk into the trigger where the marker is located in the map  to activate the event. if there is a way to use one marker and just make it to change color when it is activate with the size is different. can you give me example how to do it.

Okay I keep forgetting about the '___' when putting it in the "____". that the only thing i sometimes get confused about but now i slowly understand about it. but never thought about doing this way and this makes it more cleaner and less confusing, thank you.
