The mysterious MapMarker..

Post by Xanathar »

Hi all :)
Does anybody know how or (if) the map_marker object (of class MapMarker) can be used ?

The scripting guide does not list it, it's listed in the asset guide, but empty. If put into a dungeon, it shows up on the map, but doesn't seem to be accessible by id either directly or through findEntity. Even doing print(spawn("map_marker")) prints "nil" even though the map is effectively marked.

Any idea ?

it's what my wife would call a "phantom" dungeon object, only there in your head! :lol:

But really, no idea!

Can it be useful as it is? Nice to mark the map for players in certain areas?

It would if we could set the description, as now it appears as "(no description)" on the map.

I guess I should move this to the "feature request" thread :D
