-- LUA Script -- Shows players co-ordinates on map from a marker point. By perelect 15.04.2015

-- Assign this script to the Marker Point. Set any entity (The Marker Point) to - Static No, Physics No, AllwaysActive Yes.

-- Place Marker Point in bottom left corner of the map. Use a small flat item like a can.

-- My first script. A big learning curve.
