You probably want run it on locally on clients only and use local markers, to save the server from some processing. Also, there are so many examples of this already, you really should search around.

Untested:

Code: [Select]


_marker = _this select 0;
_vehicle = _this select 1;

while { alive _vehicle } do
{
_markerType = if ( (damage _vehicle) > 0 ) then{ "n_maint" } else { "vehicle" };
_marker setMarkerTypeLocal _markerType;
_marker setMarkerPosLocal (getpos _vehicle);

sleep 1;
};

I also made this a script that uses local effect commands now, so you need to execute the script on every client.
