Syntax

server: 

bool setMarkerType ( marker theMarker, string markerType )

client: 

marker setMarkerType ( marker theMarker, string markerType )

Required Arguments

  • theMarker: A marker element referencing the specified marker.
  • markerType: A string denoting the marker type. Valid values are:

    • "ring": Doughnut shaped ring, normally used for aircraft.
    • "cylinder": Small glowing ground ring. These are the glow markers you walk into to activate missions or events in single player.
    • "arrow": Arrow pointing down. These are the arrows on the doors you can enter in single player, except MTA's are not animated by default.
    • "corona": A glowing ball of light.

Returns

Returns true if the marker type was changed, false if it wasn't or marker values were invalid.
