Markers

Markers are objects that are not normally visible in game, but have a specific meaning to the engine. Some important markers include:

• Idle Markers: Specify how an Actor will behave in a specific spot.
• Furniture Markers: Specify how an Actor will behave in a specific spot. Furniture Markers typically represent actions with Enter/Idle/Exit states, like chairs or beds.
• Door Markers: Created automatically by Teleport Doors, indicate the destination of the teleport from the other side of the door.
• North Marker: For Worldspaces and Interior Cells, identifies the direction that the Compass and Map should consider 'North'.
• Prison Marker: Created automatically, these represent the location where a player will be placed when sent to or released from jail.
• Map Marker: Contains data related to location discovery and map markers, including the display name, map icon, and discovery radius of the location. The Map Marker for a location must be specified in its Location data. When the player fast-travels to a location, they will be placed at:
  • The Map Marker's LinkRef, if any.
  • Otherwise, the Map Marker's location.
• Horse Marker: The location of the player's horse, if any, will be moved to when the player fast-travels to a location. This must be specified in the location's Location data.
• COCMarkerHeading: The location you will be moved to when using the COC Console Command. If the specified cell does not have a COCMarkerHeading, you will be placed in the 'center' of the cell.
• RadiationMarker: Not used.
• XMarker: A generic marker, often used to designate a specific point.
• XMarkerHeading: A generic marker with a directional arrow, often used to designate a patrol point.
• Primitives: cuboid and spherical collision primitives, mostly used to detect players/NPCs entering/leaving areas.
