Custom Map Markers Help!!

CoxyzHQ · July 16, 2014

iv created map markers in the Map Editor and exported it but how do i actually install them in my server because i was reading a tutorial and i installed it the way he did but it faild to work

the example of what the markers look like before install

_this = createMarker ["NW Barracks", [4882.9556, 10267.716, 0]];
_this setMarkerText "NW Barracks";
_this setMarkerShape "RECTANGLE";
_this setMarkerType "SC_flag_0_east";
_this setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
_this setMarkerBrush "Solid";
_marker_0 = _this;

_this = createMarker ["Electro Barracks", [10293.58, 2125.8064, -1.5258789e-005]];
_this setMarkerText "Electro Barracks";
_this setMarkerShape "RECTANGLE";
_this setMarkerType "SC_flag_0_east";
_this setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
_this setMarkerBrush "Solid";
_marker_1 = _this;

_this = createMarker ["Cherno Barracks", [7032.8218, 2728.7549, 3.8146973e-006]];
_this setMarkerText "Cherno Barracks";
_this setMarkerShape "RECTANGLE";
_this setMarkerType "SC_flag_0_east";
_this setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
_this setMarkerBrush "Solid";
_marker_2 = _this;

_this = createMarker ["Novy Lug Barracks", [9574.1719, 11315.81, 4.5776367e-005]];
_this setMarkerText "Novy Lug Barracks";
_this setMarkerShape "RECTANGLE";
_this setMarkerType "SC_flag_0_east";
_this setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
_this setMarkerBrush "Solid";
_marker_3 = _this;

and the tutorial said to install it into mission.sqm like this

		class Item17
		{
			position[]={4882.9556, 10267.716, 0};
			name="NWBarracks";
			text="NW Barracks";
			type="mil_dot";
			colorName="ColorRed";
		};
		class Item18
		{
			position[]={10293.58, 2125.8064, -1.5258789e-005};
			name="ElectroBarracks";
			text="Electro Barracks";
			type="mil_dot";
			colorName="ColorRed";
		};
		class Item19
		{
			position[]={7032.8218, 2728.7549, 3.8146973e-006};
			name="ChernoBarracks";
			text="Cherno Barracks";
			type="mil_dot";
			colorName="ColorRed";
		};
		class Item20
		{
			position[]={9574.1719, 11315.81, 4.5776367e-005};
			name="NovyLugBarracks";
			text="Novy Lug Barracks";
			type="mil_dot";
			colorName="ColorRed";
		};

In this part

class Markers
{
items=17;     <<---
class Item0

Change the number to 21 this just tells the server there are 20 items inside the marker brackets

Incar · July 16, 2014

Did you make sure to increase the item count? For you I'd assume

    class Markers
    {
        items=21;

Edit: Damn you for posting while I was typing, lol. Though it should be 21 as class 0 counts towards the total.

so what you are saying is that it need to be like this?

                class Item21
		{
			position[]={4882.9556, 10267.716, 0};
			name="NWBarracks";
			text="NW Barracks";
			type="mil_dot";
			colorName="ColorRed";
		};
		class Item22
		{
			position[]={10293.58, 2125.8064, -1.5258789e-005};
			name="ElectroBarracks";
			text="Electro Barracks";
			type="mil_dot";
			colorName="ColorRed";
		};
		class Item23
		{
			position[]={7032.8218, 2728.7549, 3.8146973e-006};
			name="ChernoBarracks";
			text="Cherno Barracks";
			type="mil_dot";
			colorName="ColorRed";
		};
		class Item24
		{
			position[]={9574.1719, 11315.81, 4.5776367e-005};
			name="NovyLugBarracks";
			text="Novy Lug Barracks";
			type="mil_dot";
			colorName="ColorRed";
		};

No, right under

class Markers

Its asking how many items all together in the list which by default is 17 see below

items=17;     <<---

All you have to do is change this number to 21

You had all of the below correct the first time

class Item21 <- change back to 17 
        {
            position[]={4882.9556, 10267.716, 0};
            name="NWBarracks";
            text="NW Barracks";
            type="mil_dot";
            colorName="ColorRed";
        };
        class Item22 <- change back to 18 
        {
            position[]={10293.58, 2125.8064, -1.5258789e-005};
            name="ElectroBarracks";
            text="Electro Barracks";
            type="mil_dot";
            colorName="ColorRed";
        };
        class Item23 <- change back to 19 
        {
            position[]={7032.8218, 2728.7549, 3.8146973e-006};
            name="ChernoBarracks";
            text="Cherno Barracks";
            type="mil_dot";
            colorName="ColorRed";
        };
        class Item24 <- change back to 20
        {
            position[]={9574.1719, 11315.81, 4.5776367e-005};
            name="NovyLugBarracks";
            text="Novy Lug Barracks";
            type="mil_dot";
            colorName="ColorRed";
        };

I just noticed... You need to change up coordinates. Normally in other stuff they go x,y,z... in this you'll need to do it x,z,y.

example, change

        class Item17
        {
            position[]={4882.9556, 10267.716, 0};

to

        class Item17
        {
            position[]={4882.9556, 0, 10267.716};

Here is a complete change for you... Just posted that as reference for future.

        class Item17
        {
            position[]={4882.9556, 0, 10267.716};
            name="NWBarracks";
            text="NW Barracks";
            type="mil_dot";
            colorName="ColorRed";
        };
        class Item18
        {
            position[]={10293.58, -1.5258789e-005, 2125.8064};
            name="ElectroBarracks";
            text="Electro Barracks";
            type="mil_dot";
            colorName="ColorRed";
        };
        class Item19
        {
            position[]={7032.8218, 3.8146973e-006, 2728.7549};
            name="ChernoBarracks";
            text="Cherno Barracks";
            type="mil_dot";
            colorName="ColorRed";
        };
        class Item20
        {
            position[]={9567.58, -0.0742493, 11311.5};
            name="NovyLugBarracks";
            text="Novy Lug Barracks";
            type="mil_dot";
            colorName="ColorRed";
        };

Hope that helps. Just be sure Items is still 21.

Yah, you have to keep a close eye on a lot of these things when adding new stuff because the format from one script to another can change ever so slightly and you'll end up giving yourself a headache over the littlest things, lol. Anywho let me know if it worked, though I'm like 99% certain that is all you need to fix it.
