Description:

Since Arma 3 v1.58 User defined markers have the following name format:
_USER_DEFINED #<PlayerID>/<MarkerID>/<ChannelID> where:

<PlayerID> - unique network id of the player in String format, also available as String in the 6th param in "PlayerConnected" and "PlayerDisconnected" EHs
<MarkerID> - a marker counter id
<ChannelID> - id of the chat channel on which marker was placed (see currentChannel)

For custom waypoint position (LShift+LMB) see customWaypointPosition

Groups:

Markers

Syntax

Syntax:: allMapMarkers
Return Value:: Array of Strings

Examples

Example 1:: _markers = allMapMarkers; returns: ["marker1","_USER_DEFINED #2/0"]
Example 2:: { private "_a"; _a = toArray _x; _a resize 15; if (toString _a == "_USER_DEFINED #") then { deleteMarker _x; } } forEach allMapMarkers;
Example 3:: if (_someString in allMapMarkers) then { hint (_someString + " is a valid marker name"); };

: A3 1.12: Markers placed in editor will be in the array as a string of their name. Markers placed by the player will begin with "_USER_DEFINED #."

: To expand on the comment above. In Multiplayer, user created marker will appear in allMapMarkers as _USER_DEFINED #ID/Number, where ID is unique id related to _id param from onPlayerConnected and Number is sequential integer incremented by 1 with each marker placement by the IDed user.
