NewMarker (Global Command)

NewMarker x:Int, y:Int, type:Int, [color:Int,
  text:Str, tag:Int, expire:Int]

Create new marker drawing. The type selects the marker shape.

The color is an integer between 0 and 30, and selects the color. The text contains the marker's comment shown on the map. The tag is a value between 0 and 32767 you can use to identify your drawings, usually this value is created using Atom.

expire defines the time-of-expiry for the game as a turn number: if the current turn number is larger than this value, the drawing is automatically deleted. Thus, set expire=0 to make drawings only visible for the current session. expire=-1 is the default, drawings with this value never expire.

Note: this command was erroneously documented without the text argument in some versions, but has always accepted the parameters as shown above.

Since: PCC 1.0.5, PCC2 1.99.9
