hidden markers

[Chuck. 0]

Hi guys, once again a question

I tried the search function but didn't get a result so here is my question

Is it possible to place an invisible marker on the map? cause i cant find it , the closest i get is a white marker but thats still visible on the map..

( why do i need an invisible marker? : in my mission you got a few objectives , the first is to search for hidden camps,and when you have found the hidden camps ,there comes a new objective , now if you look in to the briefing you can see te new objective but you cant click anything cause there aint a marker placed,(yeah i can place a visible marker but than it aint a hidden camp anymore... ) so that why it has to be an invisible marker )

Hope you can figure it out.

Greets Chuck.

You can also change marker sizes to 0x0 so they start invisible then later in the game use a trigger to make them visible by using the "setmarkersize" command. Or you can use invisible markers and change them to another type of marker in game.

Dont understand it completly

where must i do this ?

( all this stuff is new to me , although i"ve been playing for 4 years now )

The Command Reference has all you need to do this. The setmarkersize or setmarkertype would go in the activation field of one of your triggers(Like an obj "done" trigger). Then new markers would show for next objective. You would have to use hidden objectives too.

Sorry to dig this up but instead of making a new thred for such a small thing.. anyways my marker still isnt appearing and i have this command in a script.

Scud2m setmarkertype "Destroy"

Scud2m is the name of the marker and i want the Destroy maker to appear. but the script is running just the maker isnt appearing and that command reference up the page doestn work

Marker name needs to be in quotes.

So:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"Scud2m" setmarkertype "Destroy"
