Making another personal gps

[Rexxenexx 0]

I'm making a personal gps like you see on some Evo servers. Here is what I have so far"

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

{ if (isPlayer _x) then { _playermarker = ((str(_x)) + "_marker"); _marker = createMarker [_playermarker,(position _x)]; _marker setMarkerType "Dot"; _marker setMarkerColor "ColorBlue" } } forEach units mygrp;

~1

#loop

{ if (isPlayer _x) then { _playermarker = ((str(_x)) + "_marker"); _playermarker setMarkerType "Dot"; _playermarker setMarkerText (name _x); _playermarker setMarkerPos (position _x) } } forEach units mygrp;

~2

goto "loop";

The problem I'm having is after you respawn the marker still gets the pos of the dead body.

EDIT: I think my name reference is the problem since is unique to the object. I have to figure out how to reference it to the actual players name I think? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT2: This is working better, but I have to test more to see if it really works.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_spawnMarker = {{ if (alive _x) then { _playermarker = ((str(_x)) + "_marker"); _marker = createMarker [_playermarker,(position _x)]; _marker setMarkerType "Dot"; _marker setMarkerColor "ColorBlue" } } forEach units mygrp};

#loop

{ if (!(alive _x) AND (isPlayer _x)) then { _playermarker = ((str(_x)) + "_marker"); _playermarker setMarkerColor "ColorBlack"; _playermarker setMarkerText ((name _x)+"'s dead body") } } forEach units mygrp;

{ if ((alive _x) AND (isPlayer _x)) then { _playermarker = ((str(_x)) + "_marker"); _playermarker setMarkerType "Dot"; _playermarker setMarkerText (name _x); _playermarker setMarkerPos (position _x) } } forEach units mygrp;

{ if (isPlayer _x) then { call _spawnMarker } else { _marker = ((str(_x)) + "_marker"); _marker setMarkerType "Empty" } } forEach units mygrp;

~2

goto "loop";

wow nobody?

I changed it to an sqf.

EDIT5: This is what I got so far. Test it out. Replace "winner" with some variable that tells when your mission is over or just leave it. It should work anyway. []execVM "simple_gps.sqf" in your init.sqs and mygrp = [this] in any player you want to track. Save as simple_gps.sqf text file.
