Custom Map Marker?

[Tricks]

Hey everyone,

 

Just wondering if I am able to create a custom map marker? I want to mark on the map a square or circle area, the size of a large mission marker and lable it "No Fly Zone". Would this be possible?

 

Thanks! ;)

Edit your mission.sqm, look for class markers, then add the coordinates, text and choice of marker and remember to increment the total number under items, it starts at 0

Look at the traders listed for an example :)

I know how to do that, thank you. But what I mean is can I design my own map marker?

You can't make your own but the list is quite decent, see Here

I just edit and use the bank markers from the single currency mod e.g.

_this = createMarker ["", [11868.95, 12688.954, 7.6293945e-005]];
_this setMarkerText "Camp Kruschev";
_this setMarkerType "Dot";
_this setMarkerBrush "Solid";
_this setMarkerDir 15.860494;
_marker_23 = _this;

Works like a charm just make sure you called for it in your init.sqf obviously

 

Edit: Also you can change the marker type to the one you want.

Thank you. So I guess I can't create my own? Is there a list somewhere I can see all the differnt kinds of symbols? I know there is: dot, circle, triangle, waypoint, and a few others.

You can find markers here, but I think only a few work with DayZ

Edit: and I don't think you can make your own, but I could be wrong.
