How to show an Icon on the map of a building location?

[BUckENbooz]

I just put in a outpost on my server, and was wanting to know how I can add a icon on the map showing its location (sort of like a icon location of a trader city). Is it done within the mission.sqf?

 

[BUckENbooz]

Oh i see it is in the mission.sqf! So how can I find the position cords of the outpost so it will be labeled in the correct area of the map?

Yep should work

Just use the marker space to add one more marker ( you have to IE : copy and paste your last marker, add 1 more number to the item number and on top of marker block one more number of total item quatity ....

for exemple on top of the marker block to begin:

class Markers
{
items=29; <==== you have to edit this if you add 1 new marker just change this 29 for 30
class Item0
{
position[]={10010.905,110.96082,10448.559};
name="center";
type="Empty";
};
class Item1
{
position[]={10153.301,0.48597428,-4593.061};
name="respawn_west";
type="Empty";
};
class Item2
{
position[]={1511.1515,6.4048538,11479.399};
name="spawn0";
type="Empty";
};

now at the end of marker block copy and paste your last marker and edit it then this ...

class Item27
{
position[]={10845.72,0.00021362305,12651.323};
name="Champ de Cannabis";
text="Champs de Cana";
type="mil_circle";
colorName="ColorBlack";
};
class Item28
{
position[]={12360.558,0.00052165985,18577.451};
name="Base ONU";
text="Base ONU";
type="mil_circle";
colorName="ColorBlack";
};
};

Will be edited ....

class Item27
{
position[]={10845.72,0.00021362305,12651.323};
name="Champ de Cannabis";
text="Champs de Cana";
type="mil_circle";
colorName="ColorBlack";
};
class Item28
{
position[]={12360.558,0.00052165985,18577.451};
name="Base ONU";
text="Base ONU";
type="mil_circle";
colorName="ColorBlack";
};
class Item29
{
position[]={X,Z,Y}; <== place an object in the editor, get back their coordinated and be sure to edit X,Y,Z in X,Z,Y
name="Base ONU"; <=== Chande the name ( optional)
text="Base ONU"; <=== The name of the marker on map
type="mil_circle"; <=== Kind of marker, check out your other marker kind to found which you wanting
colorName="ColorBlack"; <=== color of the marker, check out other marker to found which you wanting
};
};

Save and repack, your marker will appear now...

will mil_circle work on Overwatch? I remember trying (I believe) mil_dot and that didn't work.

Shouldn't matter which mod it is as far as I know.
When I ran Overpoch I had no problems with markers, and I tried a lot of them.

 

[DangerRuss]

yea I mil_Dot definitely didn't work for me. mil_Dot is the icon used in epoch for some of the lesser traders. When I tried using it, nothing showed on the map.

 

[DangerRuss]

maybe it's because Im using a script to add the markers instead of adding them directly to the mission.sqm but even mil_circle doesn't work.

What does your class Marker section look like?

 

[DangerRuss]

yea I just tried adding them to the class marker section and no luck.
Here's the class marker section, the two I added are the last two.

class Markers
    {
        items=10;
        class Item0
        {
            position[]={7839,0,8414};
            name="center";
            type="Empty";
        };
        class Item1
        {
            position[]={-18697,0,25815};
            name="respawn_west";
            type="Empty";
        };
        class Item2
        {
            position[]={4932,0,1989};
            name="spawn0"; //spawn_balota
            type="Empty";
        };
        class Item3
        {
            position[]={2236,0,1923};
            name="spawn1"; //spawn_kamenka
            type="Empty";
        };
        class Item4
        {
            position[]={8738,0,2122};
            name="spawn2"; //spawn_cherno
            type="Empty";
        };
        class Item5
        {
            position[]={10909,0,2422};
            name="spawn3"; //spawn_elektro
            type="Empty";
        };
        class Item6
        {
            position[]={13510,0,5249};
            name="spawn4"; //spawn_sol
            type="Empty";
        };
        class Item7
        {
            position[]={12048,0,8352};
            name="spawn5"; //spawn_berezino
            type="Empty";
        };
        class Item8
        {
            position[]={4006.75,0.001,8054.73};
            name="DichinaBase";
            text="Fort";
            type="mil_circle";
            colorName="ColorBlack";
        };
        class Item9
        {
            position[]={7274.69,0.001,9738.08};
            name="OldFieldsBase";
            text="Fort";
            type="mil_circle";
            colorName="ColorBlack";
        };
    };
};

I just switch to "Vehicle" which is a fairly small dot. Not sure why the mil_dot/circle ones aren't working, must be an overwatch thing.
