REA BetterAreaMapMarker

[quaint heart]

Developer framework for drawing large, world-aligned circular map areas (zones/objectives) via API — no standalone gameplay features.

To prevent the culling problems on normal map marker/items for areas i wrote this small mod for other developers.

@quaint heart it's to work with enfusion Workbench?

[quaint heart]

ahh i forgot the workshop link lol
current workshop description is not updated yet but basically your using it as a Dependecy in your Project so you can use the HelperClass to Add/Update/Remove the MapAreaMarkers

Developer Quick Start

1. Add dependency in your addon.gproj
   (project GUID: 69072C00BDCBC1AE)
2. Reload project in Workbench.
3. Use the public API in your components via BAMM_MapAreaHelper.
   Create

int handle = BAMM_MapAreaHelper.AddAreaCircle(worldPosition, radiusMeters, color);

Update

BAMM_MapAreaHelper.UpdateAreaCirclePosition(handle, newPosition);
BAMM_MapAreaHelper.UpdateAreaCircleRadius(handle, newRadiusMeters);
BAMM_MapAreaHelper.UpdateAreaCircleColor(handle, newColor);

Remove

BAMM_MapAreaHelper.RemoveAreaCircle(handle);
// or
BAMM_MapAreaHelper.ClearAreaCircles();

Optional handle validation:

bool valid = BAMM_MapAreaHelper.IsAreaCircleRegistered(handle);

Could this work as a map marker

[quaint heart]

What do you mean exactly?

[rustic shadow]

Placeable through the ingame map marker function

[quaint heart]

I haven't personally looked into the in-game map marker feature yet, but someone who knows how it works could use the system to place them, maybe.

working on a mod for it myself now 🤣
