Description

Description:
Sets the marker alpha. This is a modifier to the existing markerColor and will be applied on top of the marker color alpha. The marker is modified on all computers in a network session.
When alpha equals 1, the marker is visible, but if alpha equals 0, then the marker is invisible.
Alpha can be numbers and fractions.
Multiplayer optimisation: Global marker commands always broadcast the entire marker state over the network. As such, the number of network messages exchanged when creating or editing a marker can be reduced by performing all but the last operation using local marker commands, then using a global marker command for the last change (and subsequent global broadcast of all changes applied to the marker).
Groups:
Markers
