Player/Vehicle Icons on Map??

[Griffin64 0]

Hi there, I'm very new to mission editing. I created a team vs team mission and I'm having some difficulties. I used ArmA Edit to create a description.ext file.

In that file I have the code showing:

showCompass = 1;

showGPS = 1;

showWatch = 1;

respawn = "BASE";

respawnDelay = 15;

Can someone please tell me why I can't see friendly player icons or vehicles on the map? All I can see are the two spawn markers I placed indicating spawn points, but I can't see the little green triangles.

I can actually see vehicle and player icons when I access my mission through the preview in the editor, but the icons still don't show up when I play the mission online...

Thank you very much for any help, I've spent ages trying to figure this out

*Edit* I accidentally posted this in the wrong subsection.

Hi, im sure a friendly mod will switch this topic to mission forum....

The icons on the map will only be visible when you 1: set the correct difficutly on your host ArmA:_Difficulty

2: you will see them only when you actualy spotted them on the map or they in your viewrange.

If you want constant markers for some units you need to use a markescript
