It's not possible apart from in the editor or with scripts.

You can only change icon type, text and colour.

by icons u mean markers right..?

If so this will help.

usage : [unitname,iconname] exec "script.sqs"

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_p1 = _this select 0

_mark1 = _this select 1

#loop

~0.001

_mark1 setmarkerpos (Getpos _p1)

_mark1 setmarkerdir (getdir _p1)

? (Not(Alive _p1)): _mark1 setmarkertype "MARKER"; Exit

goto "loop"

P.S. shouldnt this be in ArmA Editing huh.gif

Yeah i meant Marker

its kinda stupid that you cannot rotate markers. I meen i want a group to take a X direction but cant put it on the map since the arrow always point North. Its the basic on preparing a good mission i dont understand why its not included

but thx for all your input guys

That's not exactly what the OP wanted, the issue was about creating and customizing markers while playing.

which u can do via scripts using these commands.

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

# setMarkerBrush

# setMarkerBrushLocal

# setMarkerColor

# setMarkerColorLocal

# setMarkerDir

# setMarkerDirLocal

# setMarkerPos

# setMarkerPosLocal

# setMarkerShape

# setMarkerShapeLocal

# setMarkerSize

# setMarkerSizeLocal

# setMarkerText

# setMarkerTextLocal

# setMarkerType

# setMarkerTypeLocal

Yet you have to modify each mission to be able to do it, not the solution for ~99% of players.

How can you make it change colour online in a coop?

The type is changed with arrow up and down keys, but never found out how to change colour? And with text I suppose you mean caps or no caps?
