Hide Markers?

[Gaffa 0]

Hi,

I seem to be having trouble hiding markers in the mission briefing screen and ingame.

I'm using the Urban Patrol Script, with enemies that I spawn into the mission later on. The first objective I have placed units in the mission editor but for the objectives thereafter they get spawned in via scripts + triggers.

The problem I'm having is that all the markers that are going to be used for the UPS and spawning units are showing in the mission briefing and ingame. The markers for the first objective disappear once UPS has kicked in, but the others remain on show.

In my init.sqf I'm using the following code that Kronzky has suggested but I'm having no luck...

"p6" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p6" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p6" select 1)];
"p5" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p5" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p5" select 1)];
"p4" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p4" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p4" select 1)];
"p3" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p3" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p3" select 1)];
"p2" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p2" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p2" select 1)];
"p1" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p1" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p1" select 1)];
"pp4" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "pp4" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "pp4" select 1)];
"pp3" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "pp3" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "pp3" select 1)];
"pp2" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "pp2" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "pp2" select 1)];
"pp1" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "pp1" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "pp1" select 1)];
"ppp4" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppp4" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppp4" select 1)];
"ppp3" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppp3" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppp3" select 1)];
"ppp2" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppp2" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppp2" select 1)];
"ppp1" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppp1" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppp1" select 1)];
"pppp3" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "pppp3" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "pppp3" select 1)];
"pppp2" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "pppp2" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "pppp2" select 1)];
"pppp1" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "pppp1" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "pppp1" select 1)];
"ppppp9" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppppp9" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppppp9" select 1)];
"ppppp8" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppppp8" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppppp8" select 1)];
"ppppp7" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppppp7" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppppp7" select 1)];
"ppppp6" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppppp6" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppppp6" select 1)];
"ppppp5" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppppp5" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppppp5" select 1)];
"ppppp4" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppppp4" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppppp4" select 1)];
"ppppp3" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppppp3" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppppp3" select 1)];
"ppppp2" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppppp2" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppppp2" select 1)];
"ppppp1" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "ppppp1" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "ppppp1" select 1)];

Now the markers

"p6" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p6" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p6" select 1)];
"p5" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p5" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p5" select 1)];
"p4" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p4" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p4" select 1)];
"p3" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p3" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p3" select 1)];
"p2" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p2" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p2" select 1)];
"p1" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "p1" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "p1" select 1)];

Are the first objective. They show at start up but disappear once UPS starts, however all the other markers wont hide :confused:

Any help appreciated, thanks

with

"markername" setMarkerAlpha 0

all markers are not visible.

Put that in an object like game logic's init instead of init.sqf and it will be ran sooner.

setMarkerAlpha isn't doing anything for me when placed in the init file :( still shows in briefing and thru the whole mission. will try the game logic approach.
