_USER_DEFINED #<PlayerID>/<MarkerID>/<ChannelID> where:

<PlayerID> - unique network id of the player in String format, also available as String in the 6th param in "PlayerConnected" and "PlayerDisconnected" EHs
<MarkerID> - a marker counter id
<ChannelID> - id of the chat channel on which marker was placed (see currentChannel)

For custom waypoint position (LShift+LMB) see customWaypointPosition

Groups:

Syntax

Syntax:: allMapMarkers
Return Value:: Array of Strings

Examples

Example 1:: _markers = allMapMarkers; returns: ["marker1","_USER_DEFINED #2/0"]
Example 2:: { private "_a"; _a = toArray _x; _a resize 15; if (toString _a == "_USER_DEFINED #") then { deleteMarker _x; } } forEach allMapMarkers;

Waffle SS.: A3 1.12: Markers placed in editor will be in the array as a string of their name. Markers placed by the player will begin with "_USER_DEFINED #."

Killzone_Kid: To expand on the comment above. In Multiplayer, user created marker will appear in allMapMarkers as _USER_DEFINED #ID/Number, where ID is unique id related to _id param from onPlayerConnected and Number is sequential integer incremented by 1 with each marker placement by the IDed user.
