Fading / hiding markers

[kittycat 0]

1. How to make the screen fade in/out? The titlecut stuff appears not to work with AMRA.

2. How to hide markers on mission start?

1. titleCut does work. Just play around with it a bit more...

2. The best way I've found to hide markers is to set the position to their negative value. That way you still have access to the original position and size information, in case you need it.

Or, assuming there's still an empty marker in ArmA, if you don't want to lose your marker's position, just make the markerType "Empty".

setMarkerType

And what about cutText? The biki says titleCut is an "Obsolete command" for some reason.

Sorry, I was confused...

cutText works (used it myself several times), but titleCut is obsolete...

And as far as hiding markers is concerned - if the marker you're trying to hide is an icon, then you can just set the type to "Empty". If it's an area marker though (rectangle or ellipse) then you need to move it out of the way.

Well, I wouldn't say need, ellipses/rectangles can be set to a size of [0,0] and not be visible, again it's useful if you want to keep the waypoint in it's place.
