Description

Description:

Covers the map except for a defined area. This function was designed to be used by the Modules framework, but it can also be used without the module. The effect does not move with the centerObject.

⚠

It is essential for the function to work that centerObject has the objectArea variable defined.

centerObject setVariable ["objectArea", [sizeX, sizeY, rotation]]

centerObject: Object - object which is used as center
sizeX: Number - length in x in meters
sizeY: Number - length in y in meters
rotation: Number - shape's rotation in degree

Execution:

call

Groups:

Modules Map and Markers

Syntax

Syntax:: [centerUnit, units, init] call BIS_fnc_moduleCoverMap
Parameters:: centerUnit: Object - object which is used as center
: units: Array - Not used inside the function
: init: Boolean - true to create cover map effect, false to remove all markers and destroy the effect
Return Value:: Nothing

Examples

Example 1:: // covers the whole map except an area of 1000m by 1000m // can be used to dynamically change size of the area during mission centerObject setVariable ["objectArea",[1000, 1000, 0]]; // same format with triggerArea, except the function only needs first three [centerObject, [], true] call BIS_fnc_moduleCoverMap;
