Moving map markers

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:45 pm

Is there a way to move a map marker onto a different map? I'm currently using gurk_meja's Raider companion mod, and the way it's set up is everytime you dismiss the companion, or if she leaves if you make her wait too long, she waltzes back to her prison cell in Evergreen Mills where you rescued her from. I was trying to make her move to Grayditch where I'd just set up a nice cozy pad for her in one of the old buildings. I noticed that there was a SlaveRaiderMapMarker marker in the cell in Evergreen Mills, and the companion's scripts all point to that marker when she heads home, so I wanted to move that marker from Evergreen Mills to Grayditch.

I tried:
dragging the marker onto the Grayditch entry in the list. It wouldn't work.
creating an identical marker in Grayditch - it won't let me because the existing marker's name has been used.
deleting the original marker first - it gives me all kinds of warnings that the 6 flags, scripts etc pointing to it will delete references to it (rather than leave them hanging so I can create a new market and easily let them point to it automatically).

Is there no easier way other than creating the new marker using a different name, and editing the flags to reference, say, "SlaveRaiderMapMarker1" instead of SlaveRaiderMapMarker?

Thanks

If it is a persistent reference and in the same worldspace, did you try to ctrl-C and Ctrl-M in the new location ?
I don't know about mapmarkers but it works with almost any other reference, even xmarkerheadings or idlemarkers, so why not with mapmarkers ?

Ohh, that worked, thanks! In my absent-mindedness I was trying Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, and of course nothing happened. Ctrl-M works, even across different worldspaces!
