Description

Description:
Template:wipCovers the map except a defined area to highlight the area of operation. Works on dedicated server. This function was designed to be used by the Modules framework, but it can also be used with module.

It's essential for the function to work that centerUnit has the variable objectArea defined.
_centerObject setVariable ["objectArea",[sizeX,sizeY,rotation,unused,unused]]
Execution:
call
Groups:
Uncategorised

Syntax

Syntax:
[centerUnit,units,init] call BIS_fnc_moduleCoverMap
Parameters:
centerUnit: Object - Unit 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:
Return value needed

Examples

Example 1:
_centerObject setVariable ["objectArea",[1000,0000,0,false,0]]; [_centerObject,[],true ] call BIS_fnc_moduleCoverMap;//Covers the whole map except an area of 1000 m by 1000 m, can be used to dynamically change size of the area during mission
