Paladin1cd Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Another question... Is there any way to place a zone, or a mark of some sort on the map for players to see in F10?

Is there any way to place a zone, or a mark of some sort on the map for players to see in F10? There is. In the F10 map on the top there is a circle button called mark point. Select it and click anywhere on the map you want the mark point to be. Also the button to the right of it allows you to put text on it so when selected by another player they can read what you wrote on it. I feel the need The need for jet engines to create thrust in order to have differential pressure on the wings which achieves aerodynamics lift at high velocity Ooww!! An expert is someone who knows each time more on each time less, until he finally knows absolutely everything about absolutely nothing.
Paladin1cd Posted September 5, 2021 Author Posted September 5, 2021 Just for points though, not for zones then it looks like. And only once the mission is running I think?

Paladin1cd Posted September 6, 2021 Author Posted September 6, 2021 Ahhh thank you. I'll check for that with google and see what I find. Appreciate it.

Create a zone where you want the mark then use MARK TO ALL or MARK TO COALITION or MARK TO GROUP as desired. You can also remove marks. Here is an example I used to mark targets and remove them when destroyed. Edited September 6, 2021 by =475FG= Dawger
Paladin1cd Posted September 6, 2021 Author Posted September 6, 2021 Oh, not exactly what I was looking for, but that is useful! Thank you! My thoughts are zones - no fly zones for example. But dang that can be VERY handy... I'm going to add that to a mission tonight!

I'm going to add that to a mission tonight! you can draw an image of your no fly zone to put in the briefing images. Or you can create kneeboard images and insert them into the mission file. Mark points are great to mark a map object target ( bridge or building) and then remove the mark when the map object target is destroyed. You can use the same zone for the mark point and for the map object destroyed trigger.
Grimes Posted September 7, 2021 Posted September 7, 2021 These were added a long time ago but the syntax only became known recently. But you can draw shapes on the map. Limited to line, arrow, circle, quad, poly, and text. https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_markupToAll There is a bug currently with quad where it can fail to shade in the whole shape, but you can see some examples I've made with it. 1 The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.
