How do I stop tick marks appearing when I select something?
Tickmarks that appear with each mouse click are called 'marker blips', the use of which is controlled via either the command Blipmode or the variable BLIPMODE. For more information about command vs. variable see How to change variables. 'Marker blips' can be cleared from the screen with commands such as REDRAW, REGEN, ZOOM, or PAN, however these commands do not permanently prevent them from appearing.
Type _BLIPMODE on the command line and change the setting, the available options are: OFF – No 'marker blips' will be visible ON – 'Marker blips' will appear at every mouse click _BLIPMODE is OFF by default.
To change the variable either type (setvar "blipmode" value) on the command line, or type the command SETVAR (for more information see How to change variables) on the command line and at the 'Enter variable name' prompt, enter BLIPMODE and change the value of the variable. The available value settings are: 0 – Turns off 'marker blips' 1 – Turns on 'marker blips' |
