Creates a path of markers to indicate the route taken by a unit.
Two units are tracked on their way through an urban area:
Marker looks (size, color, type, distance, trail length) can be customized.
Display of waypoints is another option:
Inkspots (to indicate static units):
Limited length trails:
See the
Urban Patrol Script page
for more examples.
To do simple, single indicator tracking, you can use the following methods:
Tracking via
in-game icons
Create a trigger with the following specs:
Size:
0/0
Activator:
NONE/PRESENT/REPEATING
Condition:
format["%1",trg1]!="false"
On Act:
player reveal unitname; trg1=false
On Dea:
trg1=true
This will constantly
reveal
the unit named "unitname" to the player, making ArmA/VBS display its position on the map.
Tracking via custom marker
Create a marker with the required look, give it a name
Create a trigger with the following specs:
Size:
0/0
Activator:
NONE/PRESENT/REPEATING
Condition:
format["%1",trg1]!="false"
On Act:
"markername" setMarkerPos getPos unitname; trg1=false
On Dea:
trg1=true
This will constantly synch the marker's position with the position of unit "unitname".
