Urban Patrol Script - Hiding markers on map?

[syrion]

The briefing map when the mission opens shows the UPS markers.  Within the game, it removes them from the map.  Can I remove them somehow but keep my other markers?

Never used UPS, but can you not set the marker type to empty and therefore invisible?

That probably wouldn't work as they're area-based markers.

What Kronzky used to suggest (from the top of my head) in his readme was doing this with each of the markers (in init.sqf):

Code: [Select]

if(isServer) then {
    "m" setMarkerPos [-(getMarkerPos "m" select 0),-(getMarkerPos "m" select 1)];
};

[syrion]

Would that be isServer, or !isServer?  Aren't the patrols it generates server-side?  if I move the markers on the server, won't that destroy my patrol locations?

[JamesF1]

It's isServer.  The script itself has the functionality to "invert" the marker locations before spawning patrols.  That sample was taken right from a [working] mission I have, that uses UPS.

Okay, thanks.

I have used init.sqs (sqf in arma2) to hide markers with "markername" setmarkersize [0,0]-command and later I have set the sizes back just before the UPS script is lauched.
