IcyZ 295 Posted July 13, 2012 use them as traps :PPlace a mark on an empty field or something,and try to make it look like you use a keyword bout something special!Then sit back and wait for idiots to come in the area and look what it is!You can shoot them,or you can try changing it every now and then,confuse them xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macenzie 79 Posted July 13, 2012 I could be wrong on that when it comes to waypoints...never really used them myself as they were usually pretty useless to me in function. In reading that others say it should not be viewable unless cheating, I will test it when I get home.The shift left click waypoint is useful as it shows up on your HUD exactly where you need to face and how far from your destination.And you're wrong, no one apart from cheaters can see this waypoint.

-=seany=- 65 Posted July 13, 2012 Some confusion here:1. User way point- (what the op is talking about) Hold left shift and click the map once. It will appear on the map as a small circle with a dot in the middle. Once placed, It shows you a marker on the HUD that looks like a little Chevron ^ with a number underneath showing the distance to it - No one else can ever see this marker.2. Map Marker: double click the map, use the up/ down arrows to change what type of marker it is, you can also type text into it. - Who can see these markers is dependant on what Chat channel you have active when you place is. Eg if you are set to "Direct Chat" and place a marker it will be seen by only people who are near you, just as though you where typing a chat message. However...as seen, this appears to be a bit buggy and some peoples map markers are showing up for everyone, not sure why this is happeing as we have no Global or Side Chat Channel in DayZ anymore. Anyway best to ignore these markers, and avoid using them until they work as they should,I think the User waypoint should be removed. Once you have a map it makes navigating way too easy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
