This is continuation to a thread I seen, but there was no real support.

I do not own this code, I did not create it, I simply adapted it for this idea.

Original code: Tonic (Altis Life)

Here is what i have after i changed a few things.

 

File name:

GroupMarkers.sqf

Code Inside ^

/*

if (getPlayerUID player == Epoch_my_GroupUID) then {

private["_markers","_civ"];
_markers = [];
_civ = [];

sleep 0.5;
if(visibleMap) then {
    {if(side _x == civ) then {_civ pushBack _x;}} foreach playableUnits;
    
    {
        _marker = createMarkerLocal [format["%1_marker",_x],visiblePosition _x];
        _marker setMarkerColorLocal "ColorBlue";
        _marker setMarkerTypeLocal "Mil_dot";
        _marker setMarkerTextLocal format["%1", _x getVariable["realname",name _x]];
    
        _markers pushBack [_marker,_x];
    } foreach _civ;
        
    while {visibleMap} do
    {
        {
            private["_marker","_unit"];
            _marker = _x select 0;
            _unit = _x select 1;
            if(!isNil "_unit") then
            {
                if(!isNull _unit) then
                {
                    _marker setMarkerPosLocal (visiblePosition _unit);
                };
            };
        } foreach _markers;
        if(!visibleMap) exitWith {};
        sleep 0.02;
    };

    {deleteMarkerLocal (_x select 0);} foreach _markers;
    _markers = [];
    _civ = [];
}};

In the init.sqf I put

[] execVM "scripts\GroupMarkers.sqf";

Once we got past the BE restrictions and got in game. The markers do not show on the map, I am unsure why...

 

Hopefully someone here can help with this!

Did you add that line above?

What are you trying to achieve with that, comparing your player's UserID with your Group's UserID? Are they supposed to be exactly the same?
