MapAddRegionMarker(region, markerclass, number, number, team, color, boolean, boolean, boolean, boolean);
MapRemoveRegionMarker(region);
MapAddEntityMarker(objectname, markerclass, number, number, team, color, boolean, boolean, boolean, boolean);
MapRemoveEntityMarker(objectname);
MapAddClassMarker(class, markerclass, number, number, team, color, boolean, boolean, boolean, boolean);
MapRemoveClassMarker(class);

You'll use one or more of these depending on what you want to do with them.

I don't think I'm doing this right

here's my lua :

Code: Select all

Once = OnFinishCapture(
   function(post, holding) 
      if GetCommandPostTeam("cp3") == 1 then
         SetProperty("cp3", "CaptureRegion", "xxx")
	 MapAddEntityMarker("cp3", "hud_objective_icon", 4.0, ATT, "YELLOW", true)
	 MapAddEntityMarker("arrow", "hud_objective_icon", 4.0, ATT, "YELLOW", true)
      end
   end
)

I took that from the geonosis campaign script.
cp3 is my command post that I want an arrow to point to
and
arrow is a region I want the arrow to point to

What does the error log say?

At the least you need to use MapAddRegionMarker() for the region. Have you tried switching teams ingame just to make sure the arrow isn't showing up for the other team?

Fixed it

I had to have this before it

Code: Select all

    --  REP Attacking (attacker is always #1)
    REP = 1
    CIS = 2
    --  These variables do not change
    ATT = 1
    DEF = 2

in geonosis they have this near the end

Code: Select all

    --  REP Attacking (attacker is always #1)
    local REP = 1
    local CIS = 2
    --  These variables do not change
    local ATT = 1
    local DEF = 2

but most scripts have the first code at the top

Semi-off-topic: Ugh. Do we know what all those bools do, yet?

It's been a while since I used them but I think the first had something to do if the marker could be attached to a movable object respectively if it would move along. The second or third one decided whether the marker would have an animation on the minimap or just stay static.
