[Feature Request] Add drawUnitIcon and family of SQF commands akin to GroupIcon
Acknowledged, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

Ref: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addGroupIcon

Reasoning:

  1. The underlying tech is already in the engine (for groupIcon / groupIndicators / friendlyTags/enemyTags / visionAid)
  2. Would allow a truly performance friendly 3d unit icon solution (vs addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D",...] + drawIcon3D)
  3. Would allow a replacement for friendlyTags/enemyTags / visionAid

Same or 2d map

Thanks for the consideration!

same with 3d - getters could be handy too

Thank you for requesting the feature.
Due to the current phase of Live Ops development in Arma 3, we cannot commit to any new features,
though we will try to consider them.
