Syntax

// syntax #1: POSITION or AREA label
hackMarkTiles(labelName);
 
// syntax #2: x,y tile reference
hackMarkTiles(x, y);
 
// syntax #3: area co-ordinates
hackMarkTiles(x, y, x2, y2);

hackMarkTiles();

Parameters

Syntax	Parameter	Type	Notes	Warzone Version
#1	labelName	String	A Label associated with a Position object or Area object – corresponding tiles will be marked.	3.2
#2	x, y	Numbers	Mark a single tile specified by its x,y co-ordinates.	3.2
#3	x,y, x2,y2	Numbers	The top-left corner (x,y) and bottom-right corner (x2,y2) of an area to mark.	3.2

Return value

Value	Type	Notes	Warzone Version
`undefined`	Undefined	The function does not return anything if sucessful.	3.2
<error>	Error	An error occurred, most likely invalid parameters.	3.2

Notes

The markings are cumulative – when you mark tiles, those already marked will remain marked. For example, you could mark a specific tile then an area, and both the tile and the area will now be marked.

When the function is called without parameters, all markings are cleared. It's not currently possible to unmark specific tiles or areas.

Tip: You can use the Javascript Debugger to highlight tiles associated with Labels:

Example

// syntax #1: POSITION or AREA referenced by label
hackMarkTiles("OUTPOST"); // mark tiles of object labelled "OUTPOST"
 
// syntax #2: single tile
hackMarkTiles(5,7); // highlight tile at 5,7
 
// syntax #3: area co-ordinates
hackMarkTiles(5,7, 10,15); // area highlighted
 
// syntax #4: clear all markings
hackMarkTiles(); // all markings removed

This function is likely to undergo several changes.
