3d icons/markers on base buildings per side (east and west).

Hq would have a 3d marker (like waypoint marker) visible to the side. ( not a map marker) but a 3d ingame.( like player tags)....

I started a system like that.

But you have another system with the End Game update, the 3d waypoints.

its kinda what I'm looking for, .. I want to add something like that to base buildings... so players in base don't need to click map to see were the buildings are .. all my building are allowed  500 meters from hq , so it would be so much simpler to see 3d markers ( in base) than too keep clicking map as you are looking for building.

I found this today, but need icons on buildings

 

TAGS = addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {
    {
        if (side _x == side player && {alive _x}) then {
            _dist = (player distance _x) / 15;
            _color = getArray (configFile/'CfgInGameUI'/'SideColors'/'colorFriendly');
            if (cursorTarget != _x) then {
                _color set [3, 1 - _dist]
            };
            drawIcon3D [
                '',
                _color,
                [
                    visiblePosition _x select 0,
                    visiblePosition _x select 1,
                    (visiblePosition _x select 2) +
                    ((_x modelToWorld (
                        _x selectionPosition 'head'
                    )) select 2) + 0.4 + _dist / 1.5
                ],
                0,
                0,
                0,
                name _x,
                2,
                0.03,
                'PuristaMedium'
            ];
        };
    } count allUnits - [player];
}];

You need to specify the texture in the first argument.

drawIcon3D [texture, color, pos, width, height, angle, text, shadow, textSize, font, textAlign, drawSideArrows]

TAGS = addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {
    {
        if (side _x == side player && {alive _x}) then {
            _dist = (player distance _x) / 15;
            _color = getArray (configFile/'CfgInGameUI'/'SideColors'/'colorFriendly');
            if (cursorTarget != _x) then {
                _color set [3, 1 - _dist]
            };
            drawIcon3D [
                "/A3/Blabla",
                _color,
                [
                    visiblePosition _x select 0,
                    visiblePosition _x select 1,
                    (visiblePosition _x select 2) +
                    ((_x modelToWorld (
                        _x selectionPosition 'head'
                    )) select 2) + 0.4 + _dist / 1.5
                ],
                0,
                0,
                0,
                name _x,
                2,
                0.03,
                'PuristaMedium'
            ];
        };
    } count allUnits - [player];
}];

Multiple examples here. Rotating icons, spinning icons, a function to look after multiple object icons. May be of help.
