Title: Unwanted markers in game
Post by: Blitzer on 04 Oct 2003, 12:11:20

Hey there,
                When I exported my mission to single player and played it all the  briefing and script markers were visible on the mission map. So when you go to click for the airstrikes you have all these markers over the place. Is it something to do with the scripts and briefing markers conflicting. In my mission I have the morphine script made by N10 the airstrikes_napalm made by Shogun, Skumball, LCD and Viriato and I have an artillary script that I can't find anywhere to know who made it.
If anyone knows what the problem is and how to fix it, can you let me know please. Thanks

I suspect you need an init.sqs filled with

markername setMarkerType "empty"

Thanks Macguba,
                           There was an Init.sqs in the mission folder already, so not really knowing much about scripting, I put another Init.sqs in the mission folder but called it Init1.sqs. Then I put a civilian in the mission and in his Init field I typed, [] exec "Init1".sqs bugger, no good so I tried, exec "Init1.sqs", no luck there either. I think I did the script right, I copied the line from the forum, markername setMarkerType "empty" then put it in notepad file with the file extension all files saved as Init1.sqs in the mission folder. I'll give it another go, then try something with the existing Init file like put it in there. Thanks again.

Giday,
          I put the markername setMarkerType "empty"  line in the original Init.sqs file, I still got the markers up on the map though. Anything else I could try. I used the Briefing Generator by AJ Software but never had any problems before if that is anything to think of.

Markername needs to be in quotes.

"markername" setMarkerType "empty"

Sorry, I forgot to include my usual disclaimer about syntax.

Read snYpir's tutorial "How to use objectives and init.sqs".   It will help you understand what's going on and what you need to do.  Bin the whole init1 thing, it's only going to make life harder.    Do everything you need to do in init.sqs which gets called automatically when the mission starts.

Great thanks fellas,
                              Macguba, LCD, KTotte, now I look at what you gave me I did it completly wrong, feel a little silly. (snYpir's tutorial "How to use objectives and init.sqs") I'll give it a readen till my eyes pop out. Sounds pretty scrary though, bins, quoates and empty markers. But thanks again all, we'll have it licked in no time. Reading goggles on.
