Help moving Marker and JIP

[godfarther]

OK need some help moving Spawn Points,I can get it to work but not for JIP and i have no idea why ?

I have 10 mission that are randomly selected I then move the marker to the required place in my mission.sqf

Mission1.sqf

if (isServer) then {
_missionao=task1;
_spawnopfor = createmarker ["MissionAO",getpos _missionao];
Bla blar balr mission ........
//On complete mission
deletemarker "MissionAO";

};

Mission2.sqf

if (isServer) then {
_missionao=task2;
_spawnopfor = createmarker ["MissionAO",getpos _missionao];
Bla blar blar mission drtails 
///On complete mission 
deletemarker "MissionAO"; 
};

As this should run on the server I would have thought they would still get the marker but when i try JIP respawn bottom left of the map.

Any suggestion on how to move marker that would work for JIP ? -

Using Norrin Revive for Respawns. I also tried it in my ini.sqf as well example below but that still did not work.

Created markers (not in the editor) are not synced for MP. Looks like you delete the original marker and then create a new one with the same name. Since the original marker was deleted they don't have it at all and when your revive script tries to get the position it just gets [0,0,0] which is the bottom left corner.

Instead of deleting and recreating the marker try moving it like this:

"MissionAO" setMarkerPos (getpos _missionao);

Thanks will give that a go, if i move it when i launch a .sqf will it still be moved when JIP come in then ?

Hmmmm if I come out and go back in again I get the spawn place where it was at the start so it does not mve for JIP on the server.

found this whcih looks liek it works for JIP

_marker = ["MissionAO",getpos _missionao,"PERSIST"] call CBA_fnc_createMarker;

[Muzzleflash]

Forgot not even the position was repositioning was shared to JIP. However, still instead of deleting and then recreating the marker, use this one instead on the marker in your init.sqf or some place:

["MissionAO", true] call CBA_fnc_setMarkerPersistent;

and just move it using setMarkerPos. Else you might get into trouble if someone dies after the marker is deleted but before it is created.

had a similar problem - updates marker for all clients and server without CBA

if you have any problems with it not showing - found that i needed a sleep timer to active onplayerconnected - setmarkerpos etc...

hope this helps if not using CBA

i do it a simple way that works with JIP
on a server script with an object called server
_array= [list of objects or markers where markers need to be];
server setvariable ["lost_HQ",_array,true];

in the init.sqf or a script run from the init.sqf

_my_HQarray = server getvariable "lost_HQ";

{
_marker = str(_x) + " DOWN";
_marker = createMarkerLocal [_marker,position _x];
_marker setMarkerShapeLocal "ICON";
_marker setMarkerTypeLocal "DOT";
_marker setMarkerTextLocal _marker;
_marker setmarkercolorLocal "colorOrange";
} foreach _my_HQarray;

i find whenever i need something to be stored for JIP setvariable always works
