Makers...

[[AoD]NC]

Hi 
Ok, here I gotta 3 questions about VCMP markers.

1. Deleting a marker
Let's say I've created a marker

Code Select Expand

vcmp.setmarker $1 9 361.73 -513.53 1.32
[it's bellow the terrain so ppl can't see it, but it's only for the icon on the hud ]

And how to delete it now? I've tried with

Code Select Expand

vcmp.removemarker $1

And

Code Select Expand

vcmp.removemarker $1 9

And this...

Code Select Expand

vcmp.removemarker $1 9 361.73 -513.53 1.32

I dont know how to delete this marker now  . No one of this works.

2. Action with markers
I want to do smthnig like, if u enter the marker, it will do an action f.e. display a text. How to do this?

3. Markers=crash, lag?
The markers are shown only if u are logged or u login. Let's say 20 ppl join the server. And if everyone log-in, the script will make 20 markers? And is it possible, that so many markers could crash players or the server?

Thx for help

1) This is not possible 
2) You can put an Pickup at the marker, Just use vcmp.newpickup and use the same coords. Then you can use it in your script with the right signal.
3) I had this marker thing on logging in, And it didnt lagg/crash, So i think it should work (btw it were 11 players, But i think it doesnt lagg for 20 ppl)

Hope that helps, And welcome to the VCMP Forum

Ok big thxx to you 

Good idea with this marker & pickup thing 

So, if the vcmp.removemarker doesn't delete markers, for what is this command good?

nothing It's bugged. But i thought with the new DLL it was possible to remove the Player marker on the Radar with it. (But i'm not 100% sure)
