Vehicle Location Markers

[RCO_ACOG]

So I am trying to set up a domi-insurgency mix gamemode for my clan, and want to give the some admins a script to track all vehicles an option to see all vehicles with an external script execution. I've got everything else planned out but need this type of script. Hopefully modeled after this script that lets my admins and moderators with the script track all the players in our server:

all_players_on_map.sqf

hint "Adding Player Markers";
player addAction["<t color=""#F0C21B"">Players on map</t>", "\RRG\ADMIN\all_players_on_map.sqf", "", 0];
        unitList = allUnits;
        j = count unitList;
        i = 0;
        markPos = true;
 
        while {markPos} do
        {
        unitList = allUnits;
        j = count unitList;
        i = 0;
               
                for "i" from 0 to j do
                {
                        unit = unitList select i;
                        pos = position unit;
                        deleteMarkerLocal ("playerMarker"+ (str i));
                        marker = "playerMarker" + (str i);
                        marker = createMarkerLocal [marker,pos];
                        marker setMarkerTypeLocal "dot";
                        marker setMarkerPosLocal (pos);
                        marker setMarkerColorLocal("ColorBlack");
                        marker setMarkerTextLocal format ["%1",name unit];
                };
                sleep 0.5;
        };

Thanks for your help, I'm stumped and the heads want me to dev this for them

I think your counting too many units.

if there are 4 players j = count unitList; returns 4 but for "i" from 0 to j do counts 5 even though it only reaches 4 as it includes 0, if that makes any sense.

Try for "i" from 0 to j-1 do

Im not asking for help on the players on map sript: its fine and works... I am asking if anyone can help create a script for displaying all vehicles on map, empty or not.

[RCO_ACOG]

Anyone got a clue?

Make a cycle of walking through all vehicles, delete old marker (store marker name\id\number with setVariable), add new local marker. Something like that.

If the above works for you then a small change is all that should be needed.

you could try replacing unitList = allUnits; with unitlist = [0,0,0] nearEntities ["allvehicles",8000] ;
size will depend on the map, [0,0,0] should be the centre.

also if you use this marker setMarkerTextLocal format ["%1 %2",name unit,typeof unit];

it will also give the type of vehicle, you may want to use a switch case to check the side of the unit and change the colour of the marker.

I don't know why you set unitlist and j=count twice, once is enough inside the while only.

They've also added some new commands or improved entities making it quicker but I can't remember if it will help this situation.

        unitList = allUnits;
        j = count unitList;
        i = 0;
               
                for "i" from 0 to j do {

F2k Sel is correct about this..... this cannot work. It will count one too many and cause you grief!

Obvious DayZ cheater.

The vehicle marker code is on the same cheater forums where you got this from.

I banned soo many people for using that exact same code...
