script Simple Player Marker System

[Frontliner 9]

Simple Player Marker System:

 

Create a init.sqf, Place the following into your init:

[] execVM "PlayerMarker.sqf";

Create a file named: PlayerMarker.sqf, place the following code into your file:

if(hasInterface)then{
[] spawn {
		waitUntil{uiSleep 0.2;!isNil "ExileClientPlayerScore"};//wait for player to load
		_playerPos = createMarkerLocal ["PlayerPOS", position player];//create marker
		"PlayerPOS" setMarkerTextLocal "You";
		"PlayerPOS" setMarkerTypeLocal "hd_destroy";
		"PlayerPOS" setMarkerColorLocal "ColorRed";
		while{true}do{
			waitUntil {uiSleep 0.2;visibleMap};//update marker only while map is open
			"PlayerPOS" setMarkerPosLocal position player;
		};
	};
};

Save it and place them into your mp mission folder.

 

First of all: i did not created this script, Im just sharing it, If i knew the orginal creator i would have placed his name on top of this topic.

Second: These BE filters are ment for Epoch, And im to lazy to investigate wich filters i add'd to prevent kicking.

Third: I noticed there was a similar script release on the old exile forum.(not quite similar it had a green dot, Instead of a red cross)

 

A quick and easy way for adding the filters yourself. (Tha Nooby way, But it works! )

When gettings kicked:

05.04.2015 21:14:08: Frontliner (IP of your server.) (your guid or player guid) - #26 "player;player
forceAddUniform"U_O_PilotCoveralls";player addBackpack "B_Carryall_mcamo";player addHeadGear "H_Bandanna_mcamo";"

A second .txt file is created in your battleeye filter folder, In this case its my script.txt file.

In script.txt always count +2 on the kick number you recieve, In this case its #26, Add +2 so its line 28, Then add the following line to 28:

!="player;player forceAddUniform"U_O_PilotCoveralls";player addBackpack "B_Carryall_mcamo";player addHeadGear "H_Bandanna_mcamo";"

Note: Dont forget the !=

 

Im not pro in creating filters, There is a easy way for this, If you want to learn how to, Use google or Read:

can i See my friends/party member in this script, too?

[ReMuS 3]

with this you see your group:

 

/*
playerMarker.sqf

*/
private["_markers","_members"];
_markers = [];
_members = [];

while {true} do {
    sleep 0.5;
    if(visibleMap) then {
        _members = units (group player);
        //Create markers
        {
            _marker = createMarkerLocal [format["%1_marker",_x],visiblePosition _x];
            _marker setMarkerColorLocal "ColorRed";
            _marker setMarkerTypeLocal "Mil_dot";
            _marker setMarkerTextLocal format["%1", _x getVariable["realname",name _x]];
        
            _markers pushBack [_marker,_x];
        } foreach _members;
            
        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 = [];
        _members = [];
    };
};

@ReMuS Thank you!

Sorry i have to ask..

With the Script from ReMus, can i see my own player when i'm not in a group?

Do i need both scripts for my marker and the group marker or only the one from ReMus and see me and my Group on the map?

Thx.

€dit: I tested the Script from ReMus. It shows the own player and the players of the group! Works great! Thx!

Thanks for posting this Frontline, it's a useful addition especially on bigger maps.

For those interested, you can change the style of the displayed information and colour as well;

"PlayerPOS" setMarkerColorLocal "ColorRed";

This is the colour of the marker and you can make this what you like within reason - I prefered green - so it changes to "ColorGreen"

"PlayerPOS" setMarkerTypeLocal "hd_destroy";

This is the type of marker used - I prefer a dot - so "hd_destroy" would be "dot"

Although the CFG marker information is mainly related to A2, most of it applies to A3 and can be found here.

Hi, sorry I too have to ask, tried a few ways to add this but not getting any markers, any possibility that you could explain what you did, normally dont have any issues, but I can't get it working.

Hi!

Create a init.sqf in your root of the mpmissions folder.

Paste this in the file:

[] execVM "custom\playermarker.sqf";

Then create a folder: custom in the root dir of the mpmissions folder.

There you create a file with the name: playermarker.sqf

Paste this in the file:

/*
playerMarker.sqf

*/
private["_markers","_members"];
_markers = [];
_members = [];

while {true} do {
    sleep 0.5;
    if(visibleMap) then {
        _members = units (group player);
        //Create markers
        {
            _marker = createMarkerLocal [format["%1_marker",_x],visiblePosition _x];
            _marker setMarkerColorLocal "ColorGreen";
            _marker setMarkerTypeLocal "Mil_dot";
            _marker setMarkerTextLocal format["%1", _x getVariable["realname",name _x]];
        
            _markers pushBack [_marker,_x];
        } foreach _members;
            
        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 = [];
        _members = [];
    };
};

Thats all i did. Repack the mpmissions file and start the server. Do you use, BE or/and Infistar, maybe you must add some filters.

Many thanks xtr3m3, that is basically what I had except i did not have it in a custom folder, but it works perfect now, Maybe I had a one of those moments lol.

 

Again much appreciated
