This command does not seem to play nice with onEachFrame. It seems to draw on the main screen while maintaing position relative to the map position
Example:
onEachFrame { findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 drawIcon ['iconStaticMG', [1,0,0,1], getPosASL player, 24, 24, getDir player, 'Player Vehicle', 1, 0.03, 'TahomaB', 'right']; };

The icon size always stays the same, even after zooming in/out. To make the icon get bigger with map zoom, use this for width and height size:
private _scale = 6.4 * worldSize / 8192 * ctrlMapScale _map; private _size = _sizeInMeters / _scale;
For example, the following icon has an exact size of 50 meters on the map, even after zooming in/out:
private _scale = 6.4 * worldSize / 8192 * ctrlMapScale _map; private _size = 50 / _scale; _map drawIcon ["iconStaticMG", [1,0,0,1], getPosASLVisual player, _size, _size, 0]
