How to prevent map marker spam

[Dumgard]

I'm having this issue.  Are there any options other than disabling map markers altogether?

 

I'd like to either make it so that it makes a record in the log of who is adding the map markers, or add something like a 5 minute cooldown between map marker adding.

We have the same problem unfortunately. Logged in other day to no be able to see the map at all as it was covered in markers.

good thing there faster to delete then create ;)

There are ways to track the creation of tags?

You might be able to do something with the information here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?110176-Disable-doubleclick-on-map

 

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you could disable double clicking on the map altogether, or use the code examples provided to delete the marker after a set time.

Complete mechanism of this function is very difficult to describe, especially with my level of English.

In short - we take an array of all the markers on the map, and each marker again scroll the array of markers and

delete all that have the same description, except for the current token. 

Written just been me, and has not been tested.

 

// Markers Cleanup
private ["_pre","_cur","_cnt"];
if ((count allMapMarkers) < 10) then 
{
   {
      _pre = toArray _x;
      _cur = _forEachIndex;
      {
         _sx = toArray _x;
         if ((_pre select 0) = (_sx select 0) and (_cur != _forEachIndex)) then {
            deleteMarker _x;
            _cnt++;
         };
      } forEach allMapMarkers;
   } forEach allMapMarkers;
   hint format ["Markers Deleted: %1, thx LMapper", _cnt];
};

The first time I use _forEachIndex, and the Internet do not have any information about her.

 

Used:

   AllMapMarkers

   deleteMarker

   createMarker

   toArray

   forEach

   count

Is there anything that can be added in the mission file maybe so that any time a player creates a map marker, something is inserted in the logfile?

you can use it with onDoubleClick, or something about it.
