Help with hidden Objective

[=Odin= 0]

G'Day, I am new to scripting but am getting the hang of it, mostly learnt it all through this forum it is a great place. But I am having a little trouble with getting the marker for my second Objective to be hidden untill 1st Objective is complete.

The actual objective is hidden but how do I hide this Marker? I've searched and read the OFP FAQ but to no avail on this Problem.

Here is what is in my Breifing;

Quote[/b] ]<! --- ----------------------------->

<! --- Missions plan >

<! --- ----------------------------->

<p><a name="plan"></a>

<p align="center"><img src="green.jpg" width="128" height="64"></p>

Short description of the mission.

</p>

<hr>

<p><a name = "OBJ_1"></a>Primary : <a href="marker:kill">Rescue Airmen </a></p>

<p>Secondary : Destroy <a href="marker:Intelligence HQ">Clear The Base</a></p>

<hr>

<hr>

<p><a name = "OBJ_2" status="hidden".</a>LZBravo</p>

<hr>

<p><a name = "OBJ_2"></a>Move to LZ Bravo.

</p>

<hr>

<! --- End of "Plan" section>

And the Init.sqs

Quote[/b] ]"2" objStatus "HIDDEN"

exit

Am I missing somthing, any ideas?

Cheers

you need to set the marker EMPTY in the editor.

when you want it to appear add setmarkertype from this list http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setMarkerTypeLocal

into your script

Dont forget the other commands:

setMarkerBrush

setMarkerBrushLocal

setMarkerColor

setMarkerColorLocal

setMarkerDir

setMarkerDirLocal

setMarkerPos

setMarkerPosLocal

setMarkerShape

setMarkerShapeLocal

setMarkerSize

setMarkerSizeLocal

setMarkerText

setMarkerTextLocal

setMarkerType

setMarkerTypeLocal

you can find these in the wiki

I've got a similar problem. I am using a script that adds mines randomly around inside the marker. Right now i'm using just a regular grid type solid colored marker. If I change this to Icon and make it empty so it doens't show up on the map, will it still keep the same size limits? Or, is there a way to just make the regular marker invisible?

Heya Shadow_Spyder, Have you tried Kronzky's MineField Script? I ve used it and the marker stays hidden, It does all that you want and more you can download it here;

When I used this one It did not matter what the marker type was as the script hides it, so long as it was called areamarker

Good luck
