Title: Marker-Addons --> If Marker was set, script should start
Post by: Duke Dax on 06 May 2003, 12:48:04

Hi,

i've got a question. How can i force a Marker-Addon to start a script, if a special Marker of this Addon was placed on map?

Since you did'nt specify the problem (placing marker during play OR in editor?) I'll give you an example of editorplaced markers.

Editor example:
Place your marker and name it let's say "Mark1".
In your init or wherever you wanna put it write this:
Marktype=(getmarkertype "Mark1")
In your init or wherever you wanna execute the script write this:
?Marktype=="Destroy":exec "destroy.sqs"
?Marktype=="Start" exec "start.sqs"

Sometimes the class-name is different from the editor-name.
To get the correct markertype-name do this:

hint format ["%1",getmarkertype "Mark1"]


For some strange reason the markertype "Objective" is recognised as "Flag". Beats me.

i'm quiet interessted, how do you make a script run when smone has doubled clicked on the map and placed a marker.

like if in game you just placed a maker that had to be named HELLO then a group of units would walk to this marker, but of course you'll have to make it check if it was in a certain radius so that the player doesn't lead the units far off. So how d'you do that?

tnx

Look in the online command ref in the Ed Depot and learn about the command onMapSingleClick
