Description

Description:

Creates a new map marker at the given position. The marker will be created for every player on network as well as JIP. The marker name has to be unique, if a marker with the given name exists, the command will be ignored. Use deleteMarker to delete global marker.

If position is given in 3D format, z coordinate is stored with the marker and will be used when marker is passed to commands like createVehicle, createUnit, createAgent, createMine, setVehiclePosition for example. However getMarkerPos and markerPos will always return 0 for z.

createMarker is global, use createMarkerLocal if you want to create a marker locally

Notes

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";

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"
