xcandiottix Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 When creating F10 map marks in the mission editor, the last menu item is for the nato icons of units such as tanks, infantry, etc. Are these also available to be placed dynamically and if so how? I want to place these icons down on F10 "statically" as enemy groups are reconned ... currently I used shapes but it is clunky and non-intuitive to randos joining the server. If not available, may I request these please? I created and maintain Operation Candyland, a DCS Open Beta server. Since 2019, Operation Candyland has been one of the best persistent campaigns running on DCS. Featuring ALL modern US and Russian Air, Ground, and Sea forces dynamically controlled by a standalone AI controller. At any given time, there are over 500 units on the map without any lag or desync due to the standalone nature of the system. Experience one of the best multiday campaign experiences in DCS either solo or with a group of other pilots. Both new and veteran DCS pilots will find Operation Candyland a refreshing challenge where no two campaigns are ever the same. Challenge yourself by reaching the top of a custom scoreboard which grades you based on your sortie performance and experience a custom F10 fog of war system which reveals units based on your coalition's current level of command and control. Rescue downed friendly pilots or captured downed enemy pilots in order to extract valuable intel to progress the mission. Learn more at: https://discord.gg/operation-candyland
TJTAS Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Marks are something different, Marks are the orange circle on the map (small circle) these are easily created in a script. The icons etc are Drawings and afaik the icons are currently not available to the scripting API but Arrows, Circles, Polygons are. It's confusing as there are crossovers in terminology. https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_singleton_trigger you want to be looking at MarkupToAll LineToAll, CircleToAll etc. Edited February 24, 2023 by TJTAS

I want to dynamically mark to all an icon such as the tank one shown in the right menu panel.
