Title: How to make invisible markers and / or markers seen only by east / west ?
Post by: Stone on 31 Aug 2003, 21:33:14

I want to have my respawn areas unseen by opposite side, I tried playing with: (different approaches)

"respawn_west" setmarkertype "Empty"
"respawn_east" setmarkertype "Empty"

with no success.  :-[

Each time I could see easts marker on the map.

I need this to be invisible both during briefing & mission (in game map )

ThanX for any hints & suggestions...

Are you familiar with init.sqs?  Good.  You have to add to it.

Here's an example:

Code: [Select]

? side player == west : goto "west"

"respawn_west" setmarkertype "empty"
exit

#west

"respawn_east" setmarkertype "empty"
exit

You can also use this to hide radio commands from certain sides.

Code: [Select]

? side player == west : goto "west"

;Hides Alpha from East
1 setradiomsg "null"
exit

#west

;Hides Bravo & Charlie from West
2 setradiomsg "null"
3 setradiomsg "null"
exit

Good Luck!

ellipse respawn markers cannot be made invisible by setting marker empty, this is only good for icon based markers.

What you have to do is resize it to 0 for the side that you dont want to see it


eg

#SIDECHECK
?side player==west:goto "WEST"
?side player==east:goto "EAST"

#WEST
;;Hide East markers from West players
"Respawn_East" setmarkersize[0,0]
