Description
- Description:
- Creates a local marker at the given position - the marker only exists on the machine that created it. The marker name has to be unique, if a marker with the given name exists, the command will be ignored. Use deleteMarkerLocal to delete a local marker.
If the position is given in 3D format, z coordinate is stored with the marker and will be used when marker is passed to commands like createVehicle, createUnit, createAgent, createMine, setVehiclePosition for example. However getMarkerPos and markerPos will always return 0 for z. - Multiplayer:
- createMarkerLocal is local, so it should be used along with the other local commands. For global equivalent use createMarker.
- Problems:
- setMarkerDrawPriority sorts allMapMarkers from least to most priority. Before 2.18 createMarker/createMarkerLocal did not care about drawing priority and added the created marker to the end of the array, making it top priority. Running setMarkerDrawPriority again sorted this issue.
- Groups:
- Markers
Syntax

- since 2.02
- channel: Number - (Optional)The marker side for multiplayer
- since 2.02
- creator: Object - (Optional) The marker creator for multiplayer
