Title: Place a Hidden Marker On Map
Post by: sharkyjoe on 25 Mar 2005, 16:31:10

After the game is going for a while. I would like to place a maker on the map after a pilot is  dead and the players move on to a new Exctraction point(marker).
this is in trigger on conditon : not(alive heliPilot)
                         Activation:"5" objStatus "ACTIVE"; "5"objstatus "done"; "obj5" SetMarkerType "Arrow";
Done the inti.sqs hidden stuff to it also
Gone through Tutes, even the Hidden objective and markers by Snyper.
The Hidden marker does not show up.??

I presume you have a marker that you have placed in the editor called obj5 and that you have made it an Arrow.  Then in init.sqs you have the line
"obj5" setMarkerType "Empty"

In which case I have no idea what to suggest.

By the way you don't need both
:"5" objStatus "ACTIVE"; "5"objstatus "done";

You can go from Hidden to Done in one step.

Thank-you THobson. You have pointed me in the right direction again.  :)
