Delete marker with trigger

[Stoll 82]

Hey there,

I know it has to be very simple, but I'm stuck on this atm.
Maybe someone can give me a push in the right direction.

I want to place a global marker and want to delete it again with a trigger, when a player activates the trigger.

So that's what I got so far:

	_marker = createMarker ["BOX", _object];
	_marker setMarkerType "hd_start";
	_marker setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
	
	_trigger = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", "getMarkerPos _marker"];
	_trigger setTriggerArea [5, 5, 0, false];
	_trigger setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", true];
	_trigger setTriggerStatements ["this", "deleteMarker _marker", ""];

I'm pretty sure that the error(s) are in these 2 lines:

	_trigger = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", "getMarkerPos _marker"];
	_trigger setTriggerStatements ["this", "deleteMarker _marker", ""];

I'm not sure what to put in as string code for deactivation. Trigger should be deleted as well of course, after the marker is deleted.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% but I think deleteVehicle _trigger MIGHT work.

Never mind; Just found this... *In Maca we trust*.

Hm, these files look useful, but I think it's not what I'm looking for.
Maybe I just don't know how to use them for my intend.

Still trial and error for 2 days now....

This code from the eden editor works fine.
I simply dunno, how to convert it correctly for using it in a script:
 

	class Entities
	{
		items=3;
		class Item0
		{
			dataType="Marker";
			position[]={4802.9214,5,1411.3457};
			name="marker_0";
			type="hd_start";
			id=0;
		};
		class Item1
		{
			dataType="Trigger";
			position[]={5616.7749,5,1528.123};
			class Attributes
			{
				onActivation="deleteMarker ""marker_0""";
				sizeA=5;
				sizeB=5;
				activationBy="ANY";
				isRectangle=1;
			};
			id=1;
			type="EmptyDetector";
		};

Maca's addon is a different way of using trigger so you can make them deletable.

Well, unfortunately I have no clue how to use these files for my intend.

Overall, I don't have to delete the trigger. It's more important for me how to remove the marker with the trigger!

Push

No one? Shouldn't be too hard, but I'm still failing to get it working.

I had it working once, but when a new player joined the game (or after a relog) the marker is back on the map.
So, I gave up at this point and used permanent markers.
