Title: createVehicle, hide marker problem
Post by: TH on 04 Jul 2004, 19:46:09

this is what i have in a trigger in the activation field, i want a scud to appear at marker named Scud when the trigger activates.

Code: [Select]

"Scud" createVehicle getmarkerpos "Scud"what am i doing wrong? thx in advance ;D.
Also how do you hide markers like you hide objectives?

"marker1" setMarkerType "empty"
 
Syntax not guaranteed.   When you want it to appear set the marker type to "objective" or whatever you want.

A word can be used only once in a mission.   So if you have a variable "banana", you cannot have a unit called "banana" or the game will get confused.    Never call anything by a reserved variable/name for the same reason.    It may not be the problem, but don't call your marker "scud":  call it "scudMarker" or something.

How do you know it doesn't work?

Ah, so there is an error in that line of code.    Make the appropriate changes and try

scud1 = "scud" createVehicle getMarkerPos "scudMarker"

Check the syntax in the comref.

ok, i made the scud and put it on a island, then did this

Code: [Select]

scud1 setpos (getmarkerpos "ScudMarker")
that should work, correct?  :)
