urgent - I marked my camp on the map!

[Dayzo 182]

I stupidly marked my camp just now on the map using the big 'X' and a label.

I left the server 30 mins later. When I came back on, the marker had disappeared.

1) Even though it was only there for 30 minutes, is it highly likely that someone saw it and is heading toward my camp right now?

2) Did the marker vanish from other player's maps when I disconnected?

3) Is the owner of the marker the only one who can delete it? Or did someone else delete it? (It wasn't there when I rejoined).

Maybe it deleted automatically when I left the server?

Thanks for this info ASAP!

Press the delete key while your cursor is hovering over it.

-Everyone who has a map can see it.

Yep been there, I didn't know you could delete them at the time so I set about ten others on the map as a distraction.

OK, here's the full (noobish) story...

I was a new spawn at Kamenka, and wanted to run North West. But I wasn't watching where I was going, and actually got lost in the Western forests. Suddenly out of nowhere a V3S truck and a white car drove through the forest 300m ahead of me. I followed them, and shortly they stopped to cook food and sort their inventory. Then they carried on driving and I followed them again. This time when they got out, one of them went on a mission and the other was left on watch.

I was desperate for water, and actually tried typing on direct comms to ask for help. But they weren't on direct, or I was just out of range. So I decided just to roll up to the truck and take a drink if they had it. The guy on watch was actively scanning and right next to the V3S, but only looking on one side of it. When I got to the truck, I thought, 'fuck it... this is never going to happen to me again', so I grabbed the first weapon on the list and shot the lookout from under the truck. Then I drove it away.

I stopped a Km or two away and raided the truck. Amongst other stuff I took a Holo, but left a L85A2 AWS because I thought it was a hacked gun. I felt guilty because it looked like whoever repaired and stocked the truck did it all legitimately. And all I had wanted was a can of coke! So I posted the co-ords of the truck on the map with the label 'Your truck is here. Sorry.'

I was a couple of Km away from the truck when everyone got disconnected from the server. I think it was a restart, but I don't know. Whilst reconnecting I realised that the L85A2 AWS was listed in the wiki and completely legit, which is when I regretted posting the co-ords of the V3S. I went back to the truck and switched guns. I wanted to move it too, but my wife rang me to pick her up so I had to stop there.

I think I'm just going to leave the truck though: Driving vehicles gets you followed and killed by legitimate players, and probably some little script kiddie will teleport the truck to themselves in a few hours time anyway. And they're obviously still buggy on restart. Now tents are fixed, I think I'll go find myself one.

It's more interesting rather than noobish, imo.

I just checked... it's already gone.

No, I'm pretty sure tearing off into the forest with nothing to drink as a new spawn is in fact noobish. :huh:
