About

This include allows you to have a wide variety of marker types for players, replacing the confusing SetPlayerMarkerForPlayer() function. There are over 60 different map icons that you can use as player markers, instead of the standard little colored triangles. These Custom Markers don't interfere with the gamemode's markers, which will allow you to use markers in filterscrips without worrying about interfering with the gamemode. I couldn't find any include like this, so I made it myself. This is the first time I release an include, so let me know what could be better.

Easy to use, simple functions
More than 60 different icons
Replaces the standard markers
Doesn't interfere with gamemode markers

Edit; just saw the video. Some great work over there, but what is up with the function?

I can't get the areaid in the function to work correctly. It should only show the markers to the players in the given area. The problem is that when I add the areaid to the function, even the players in the area can't see the marker.
