Under Empty > Objects there's a "Table with map" but I think it's Malden. If you cannot find it under objects, download General B's editor addon. It's in the ed depot.

as far as i know you can only animate a forcemap sequence, using

Code: [Select]

mapAnimAdd [time, zoom level, getMarkerPos "marker_name"]
mapAnimCommit
@mapAnimDone
commands. i don't think it's interactive.

No, I believe that he means when you click on something in briefing it goes to a certain marker. This would be under the Briefing.html, but because this can be so long I can only direct you to a some tutorials:

If you want an excellent example an intro briefing that uses the map.  Check out Absolute Zero by Welshmanizer.  You can download it from Avon Lady's MOM (Mission of the Moment) here is the link.

Anyway, de-PBO it and check out the intro scripting for how Welshmanizer does the map manipulation.  But play the mission first.  It is a good all around mission.

right ive kind of done it but not to the best quality
i have cuttext telling you what to do and markers appear i whanted it to follow the marker and put alittle box around it with the lines coming of like the breifing.html
but since i couldnt do that i used a file wich tells at the beginning not to show the markers then they appear when the cuttext says a line like you start here marker appears.
so its basically done and im not to fussy about the little box aroound it so i think its solved
thanks everyone
