Marker, local to one side only.

Ello,

Silly question I know, but...

Is there one way to set a marker local to one side via the editor/scripting?

I would presume its the "local" version of marker commands, would I be correct?

Any help would be appreciated!

Either use deleteMarkerLocal to delete editor placed or globally created markers for a specific side or use createMarkerLocal and create the marker if a player belongs to a specific side.

ah, thats what I thought. Just wasnt a way to test it without doin a whole mp session.

There is an example on here:

//_plMarker = createMarker [_name, position player];
//_plMarker setMarkerColor "ColorBlue";
//_plMarker setMarkerType "Air";
//_plMarker setMarkerText format["%1",name player];
//_plMarker setMarkerSize [1, 1];
//_plMarker setMarkerDir getdir player;

So, to create it from a script I would use:

//_plMarker = createMarkerLocal [_name, position player];
//_plMarker setMarkerColorLocal "ColorBlue";
//_plMarker setMarkerTypeLocal "Air";
//_plMarker setMarkerTextLocal format["%1",name player];
//_plMarker setMarkerSizeLocal [1, 1];
//_plMarker setMarkerDirLocal getdir player;

But how do I ensure its local to blufor only, so that only they can see it?

Kinda got my head stuck on this one.

if (playerSide == west) then {
   // do the local marker stuff here
};

Im probably best off sticking that in the init.sqf aren't I ?

Btw, thanks again Xeno.

oh, I updated our version of Aircav recently. Removed the jip_fix since 1.03 and added a few other features, dunno if you want a copy to take a look see?
