Way AWESOME MAN

Janez thanks for the suggestion...I was hoping to find someone to help with this Way beyond my current skill set. I will try the information you posted. Ant

That is way nice Pierre

Hey, folks super stuck here maybe one of you Arma Dev Gods can help finish this off. PURPOSE OF CODE: I am trying to build a mini-map like in the game Squad. So you don't have to come out of the game to check your map. WHY: This would be extremely helpful to folks who are flying in jets so they don't crash when they come out of the game to check their map. I have most of the map working to include positioning. I just can't figure out how to create an open and close feature to call the map. I am not sure how to bind a key to open or close the map. There is also a map line marker error I can't figure out as well. So maybe someone with more skill can finish this out and share the code. THOUGHTS: This would have to work multiplayer for each faction player. Maybe triggered from onPlayerRespawn.sqf Credit Goes To Larrow for map code Any help highly appreciated ANT CODE BELOW: init.sqf fnc_updateMiniMap = { _map = _this select 0; _map ctrlMapAnimAdd [0, 0.05, player];

Thanks Stan still looking into it

Maybe changing the setmarker Alpha would be it though not sure if it can be done by trigger

Stan thanks for the response i have not added any additional tracking scripts and i know you can turn everything off in veteren mode... not what I am asking. I guess for clarity what i am asking is ....is it possible to remove the player map icons / markers when a player enters a specific area that has a trigger. I am not trying to take them out on the whole map only in a specific area that a trigger area represents when a player is in that area. Not sure if possible

The ones on the map that shows player location so blue force tracker i suppose. I am not trying to take them out on the whole map only in a specific area that a trigger area represents when a player is in that area .

Does anyone know of a trigger script that would turn off the player's current position marker on the map when they enter a certain area? The effect would be dictated by the radius of the trigger? The script would need to work in multiplayer. Been searching and have not found anything. Any help highly appreciated Ant

Thanks Pierre I will ask him
