First, you must be playing in cadet mode

Second only units in your own group or that you 'know about' will show up on the map.

In order to 'know about' units you must see them in the game. (e.g. "Soldier 4 o'clock, 100!!")

If you want to script in that you see them, you must use the "reveal" command. However, the limitations are that if your unit cannot see them for some reason and you use reveal, then they will fade back to being unknown again. Just like when a unit goes behind a hill, a building, etc...

It's usually just easier to keep positioning a marker over the unit every few seconds if you want to track units on the map. (I recommend the USMC Marker add-on too)

example of reveal command:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">player reveal badguy1
