However getMarkerPos and markerPos will always return 0 for z.

To create a marker which is visible on the map you need to define at least the following three settings:

_markerstr = createMarker ["markername",[_Xpos,_Ypos]];
_markerstr setMarkerShape "ICON";
_markerstr setMarkerType "hd_dot";

Soldia (JP): 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];

x39: 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"
