Make a loop and use the setMarkerPos command repeatedly. Once every 10 seconds should be enough.

From a script i made:

Code: [Select]

#Loop

_unit = West_2; _mark = "West_2_Marker"
?(alive _unit): _mark setmarkerpos [getpos _unit select 0, getpos _unit select 1]
?(!alive _unit): _mark setmarkerpos [0,0]

Goto "Loop"
Let me explain what it does:

_unit = West_2 = West_2 is the name of the unit you want tracked.
_mark = "West_2_Marker" = Is the name of the marker you want attached to the unit.

Thats all you need to modify to get the script to follow a unit.

PM/Email me if you got questions.

Yes all you need to do is add the three lines and change what i said.

Code: [Select]

#Loop

_unit = West_2; _mark = "West_2_Marker"
?(alive _unit): _mark setmarkerpos [getpos _unit select 0, getpos _unit select 1]
?(!alive _unit): _mark setmarkerpos [0,0]

_unit = West_1; _mark = "West_1_Marker"
?(alive_unit): _mark setmarkerpos [getpos _unit select 0, getpos _unit select 1]
?(!alive_unit): _mark setmarkerpos [0,0]

Goto "Loop"
