Hidden markers

[ufo hk]

Is there a way to hide markers on a map until a particular trigger is acheived. I already have the objectives hidden and can get them to appear correctly once a trigger is released, but I want the map markers assoicated with these objectives to also remain hidden until trigger is activiated.

Well...there are actually two ways to do it:
You can move the marker of the map, e.g.
"markername" SetMarkerPos [-10, -10, 0]
or you can change the marker type to empty
"markername" SetMarkerType "Empty"
You can do this also within the editor. Simply choose markertype "Empty". The marker appears in the editor but not ingame.
