Map Markers driving me nutz

[Chainsaw Squirrel]

I have created a new AI City/Camp I've tried over and over , to get a stupid marker to show for this.. but I get nada.. zilch ... zip.. on the map.. 
Im missing something .. even tried another that I found to reflect the cords, maybe its the cords ? most I see have cords like this one from sector FNG
 

class Item18

{

position[]={6611.9756,304.99265,14201.991};

name="sectorfng";

text="sector fng";

type="mil_circle";

colorName="ColorRed";

};

 

But I'm using 6602.6079, 14155.46, 0.43281284  and get nothing,  do I NEED create a map marker in the sqf as part of the city map edit, or a separate map edit just for the marker ?
I've looked at FNG Map builds, and don't see a marker as part of the code for those..
I know Im missing something .. just cant figure out what.

any help appreciated

Did u increase the number after 

class Markers
{
items=18; // do this  +1 everytime u add one

Might be a few things...

 

First, map markers do not need the third set (Elevation) - just X+Y 

 

Might be an issue with you adding this just to your sqf.

Might try adding this to the bottom in your class markers of your sqm as well, but no promises since I don't know how you have everything set up, but hopefully this might set you in the right direction.  As far as your set up, it looks good - same thing I have used.

 

(If this does work for you and you get the map marker at the very bottom of the map, then switch the order of cords.)

The thing he posted is from the missions.sqm

 

it's a class from the subclass Markers

 

If he increases the item count at top of his Marker Class then it should work

 

in SQM -> {X, Z, Y}

in SQF -> [X,Y,Z]

I find it easier to never touch the description.ext file when adding things you could make a new file called markers and then

execVM "markers.sqf"; 

in the init file and paste this into the file

		_marker1 = createMarker ["_marker1", [13700, 2961]];
		_marker1 setMarkerText "NAME TO SHOW ON MAP";
		_marker1 setMarkerType "MARKER TYPE"; //https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/cfgMarkers for marker types 
		_marker1  setMarkerColor "COLOUR HERE";
		_marker1  = _marker1;

to add more than one just copy all 5 lines and rename marker1 to whatever

Depends what you think is easy ^^

i know you have it sorted now but just read this...

 

you say you was using  6602.6079, 14155.46, 0.43281284 and getting nothing...

 

map markers need to be X,Z,Y so it should have been  6602.6079, 0.43281284, 14155.46
