Hello folks. Two questions: 1. Is there a function call that returns a boolean when a curator is actively using the camera? something along the lines of: "inCamera curator" => returns true when actively using the birds-eye view camera and false when controlling their normal physical character. Pretty much some way to recognize a trigger for when the player enters and exits zeus. my current awful solution is detecting the "Using Inventory" animation for standing, crouching, and prone. This, however, doesn't work if the player is in an advanced stance or in a vehicle. 2. Is there a way to disable unit markers on the zeus map for zeus. I don't mean the difficulty setting for all player maps (that's already disabled) nor do I mean removing units from the curator editable objects (that's also already disabled). Despite the magic map being off and the units not in the curator's editable objects, they still show up on zeus player's map. Anyway to disable this? Thanks for the read.

Just a code snippet to display continually updating map markers for all units and uav's on the player's side. A result of me messing about with the functionality of the select command. If a unit is in a vehicle, the vehicle's driver (or the first player in the vehicle) followed by the crew count will be shown. For example "HallyG + 3". First argument toggles whether or not marker should be displayed for AI. Default behaviour, only show AI markers in singleplayer. Marker colour changes according to the player's side; The side used is the player's starting. http://imgur.com/a/LTgbk /* Author: HallyG Displays map markers for all friendly units on the map.
