Pizzicato Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 This is an awesome addition. Didn't actually realise how much I needed this until I saw it in action. Can't wait to start playing around with it. 1 i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye_UK Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 If only this was available on the F10 Map for MP. I really see the potential in this obviously great for static mission planning but surely its best use is for Tac Commanders in real time re FLOTS? Please please can you pass onto the dev's that this is pushed though to the live F10 map? 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DCS & BMS F14B | AV-8B | F15E | F18C | F16C | F5 | F86 | A10C | JF17 | Viggen |Mirage 2000 | F1 | L-39 | C101 | Mig15 | Mig21 | Mig29 | SU27 | SU33 | F15C | AH64 | MI8 | Mi24 | Huey | KA50 | Gazelle | P47 | P51 | BF109 | FW190A/D | Spitfire | Mossie | CA | Persian Gulf | Nevada | Normandy | Channel | Syria | South Atlantic | Sinai Liquid Cooled ROG 690 13700K @ 5.9Ghz | RTX3090 FTW Ultra | 64GB DDR4 3600 MHz | 2x2TB SSD m2 Samsung 980/990 | Pimax Crystal/Reverb G2 | MFG Crosswinds | Virpil T50/CM3 | Winwing & Cougar MFD's | Buddyfox UFC | Winwing TOP & CP | Jetseat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Hawkeye is asking for is live annotation, so people can dynamically update the map for other players during the mission (versus it being "baked in" from the start). 1 i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBo* Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 hoping i can link this to triggers... once a area is captured or occupied i can make it so the lines and such change updating the map to the current situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Hawkeye is asking for is live annotation, so people can dynamically update the map for other players during the mission (versus it being "baked in" from the start). This is already possible via scripting and is also built into the excellent "GameMaster" script by Cake/Sorbus. You can type stuff into map marks and make it all happen. In MP, in realtime. Have fun.

fargo007 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Very similar. These functions got exposed to scripters in the API before they had ME controls. An example attached. Have fun.

Topper81 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Will this marks also be visible on some hsi's (e.g. Hornet) or in the apaches tsd? And / or in the kneeboard map's? Edited October 17, 2021 by Topper81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Is there a delete function? Being a clutz I'm finding myself messing up the drawings (or just weird stuff like the segment tool making endless segments). DEL key and the delete icon don't seem to function. I rewatched Wags' tutorial but, unless I've missed it, he didn't mention a delete function. Is there one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octuplefire Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Any way of having these linked to triggers to show/hide or is that something for the wish list thread? 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTrooper Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Just a follow up from what Octuplefire was asking. Does anyone have any examples of a script on how to show/hide an object? It would be great to show or hise them when needed. 1 ----------------------------------------------- Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-6700 (3.4GHz) 8MB Cache | 32GB HyperX FURY DDR4 2133MHz | MSI GeForce RTX 2070 ARMOR 8G |SSD 1TB 970 EVO Plus M.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
