createMarker accepts an object as position parameter as well (A3 - 1.50.131969). You could try this with the following code (both SP/MP) _markerstr = createMarker ["markername", player]; _markerstr setMarkerShape "RECTANGLE"; _markerstr setMarkerSize [100,100];

In Arma 3, one can create markers which are deletable by the user by prefixing the name with `_USER_DEFINED`. Example: createMarker "_USER_DEFINED somemarkername"
