MAMMUTH 0 Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Hi guys, I'm trying to create a marker that displays the distance to the enemy vehicle (when pressing ALT). Therefore, I created a custom macro and use it in the markersAliveExtended.xc. What's working: - Calculate the distance between me and an enemy - Show it as a text in an XVM OTM marker at the game start - Re-calculate the distance (and print it to the log) based on silly debug events like "onHealthChange" However, I have three problems/questions: - I can already hook into events to re-calculate the distances to all vehicles and update an internal state variable. However, XVM does not call my macro again to receive the new value -> how to make the OTM text dynamic? - What would be "good" events to hook into to update the distance to all vehicles? Is there a simple frame/time based event? - Is adding "custom macros" actually a thing or are all macros just coming with XVM itself? How would I "package" this mod to send it to friends? Attached you find a few debug files of what I'm doing. Any help or hints on how to make dynamic custom OTM markers is appreciated! <3 distance_macro.py markersAliveExtended-PARTIAL_FOR_ILLUSTRATION_ONLY.xc Edited June 29, 2023 by MAMMUTH Quote Share this post Link to post Short link Share on other sites
Kurzdor 460 #535630 Posted July 11, 2023 @MAMMUTH This isn't possible because OTM doesn't allow to be dynamic. You can use Lesta MT code as reference. BTW, I tried to do it but it wouldn't work because of the reason above. Quote Share this post Link to post Short link Share on other sites
