mr.g-c 6 Posted February 20, 2008 http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setMarkerTypeetc. I assume "empty" means hidden ?? Does the script who needs the markers still "see" the covered area? Regards, Christian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Christian "Empty" makes it indeed invisible. But I believe this only works if the shape is set to icon, not rectangle etc. So basicly you would probably need to save the marker's data into a variable, like an array or whatsoever, while you make the marker invisible. Maybe replacing the markers by empty triggers that encapsulate the needed area might be a solution? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.g-c 6 Posted February 20, 2008 Maybe replacing the markers by empty triggers that encapsulate the needed area might be a solution? Well maybe yes, but do the script i use with the markers support this? Its the Ambush-script... Terp helped me at a other place and said i should set the markerytpe to empty for the clients.... what do you think? Regards, Christian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Christian Good point he has to set it like that for the clients if the ambush script does not run on clients. (Sometimes the simplest solutions are hardest to find ) The problem is on Server Clients (ingame server hosting), he will always still see the markers If the script only needs the markers at initialization, then you could remove the markers completely after server finished ambush script inits... Otherwise, I believe you will have to edit the script if you want a 100% fitting solution. I dont know the script, if you want me to take a look at it, plz link me the script Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the unknown 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Why dont you just set the size of the marker to 0 then set it to the proper size when it needs to become visible. SetMarkerSize Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Sometimes the simplest solutions are hardest to find )The problem is on Server Clients (ingame server hosting), he will always still see the markers Ok, so how could a code like this look, and from where to call it? <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"markername" setMarkerTypeLocal "Empty"; ? Inside a xxx.sqs and then called from init.sqf and from the JIP-Script i use to make it available for JIP-players ? Please help me with this...

sickboy 13 Posted February 21, 2008 Ok, so how could a code like this look, and from where to call it?<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"markername" setMarkerTypeLocal "Empty"; ?Inside a xxx.sqs and then called from init.sqf and from the JIP-Script i use to make it available for JIP-players ? Please help me with this... Regards, Christian First off I would say; Drop sqs completely. It's unnecessary Anyway, This should do it: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">if (!isServer) then {  // Runs only on clients and JIP clients  waitUntil {player == player};  "markername" setMarkerTypeLocal "Empty";  "marker2name" setMarkerTypeLocal "Empty";  "marker3name" setMarkerTypeLocal "Empty"; };etc Notes: [*] waitUntil is used for JIP, for normal players, it should directly jump to hide the markernames (in Briefing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pulverizer 1 Posted February 21, 2008 I have no clue about the script that uses the marker but maybe you could just set it to "empty" to begin with, in the editor, so it would be invisible. You should change it from rectangle to an icon only after you've finished making the mission, because of the stretched icon. Also, notice that the size parameters are reset when you switch the type so you need to tap them in again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.g-c 6 Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks very much sickboy... I let it call from my init.sqf via:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">// Marker Invisible nul= [] execVM "marker.sqf"; Is it correct like this? Shall i also let it call on every JIP-client through the used "JIP-script", means "Onplayerconnect" or does it get automatically for all JIPs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JIP Clients run init.sqf just as normal Clients. The example I made as displayed in the comment is compatible with normal aswell as jip clients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
