This suggestion was processed by our team and will be looked into. We thank you for your feedback.

Found out that getMarkerDir actually exists in ARMA too. It's just called markerDir there. But there are plenty of great VBS commands/functions.

The commands already exist:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setMarkerDir
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setMarkerDirLocal
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/isPlayer

We don't want to simply port everything from VBS, as many functions wouldn't make sense in Arma. If you have any specific requests, please create a request for every each of them with explaining why you want them.

Mass close.
