Hide map pen icons

Hello.
I need mod for my roleplay
I need hide all map pens
also in city(bank, sellers)

Is possible to create this mod?
I need it very mutch!
Thank you)

I think you can disable map pins without an extra addon. There is a filter menu on the right side of the map, where you can disable pins:

FCOChangeStuff provides an extra checkbox to enable/disable all map filters with 1 click, maybe this helps too.

may be anybody know script for it?

If the citties got their own map pin type (MapDisplayPinType) one could identify and hide them. But I think they don't have an onw pintype. At least I cant find it.

hm just tested the map filters.
If I'm in Shadowfen e.g. and disable all map filters there are only the guild trader icons left on the map:

Even on other maps there is not shown anything.

And on the worldmap there are no cities or whatever shown:

So what icons are shown on your map, and where, if you disable ALL map filter icons?

MAybe its another addon which causes this for you then?

I believe he's talking about the map pins inside a city that show the bank, merchant, crafting hubs, etc.
They don't use the POI API which those filters and addons likely use. Instead they are called "MapLocations" and use a different set of APIs:

Code:

* GetNumMapLocations()

** _Returns:_ *integer* _numMapLocations_



* IsMapLocationVisible(*luaindex* _locationIndex_)

** _Returns:_ *bool* _isVisible_



* GetMapLocationIcon(*luaindex* _locationIndex_)

** _Returns:_ *string* _icon_, *number* _normalizedX_, *number* _normalizedZ_

yes! Do you know how hide it?

From the API functions sirinsidiator provided one should iterate over all map locations, check if it is visible, and get the icon name. Check if the icon name contains something like city and then hide it I assume.

Lua Code:

for mapLocationIndex=1, GetNumMapLocations(), 1 do
 if IsMapLocationVisible(mapLocationIndex) then
   local iconNameLower = GetMapLocationIcon(mapLocationIndex):lower()
   if string.find(iconNameLower , "city") ~= nil then
      --Hide the mapLocation at mapLocationIndex. I don't know how to get the "control" of that mapLocation though and so I'm not able to use :SetHidden() on it :-(
   end
 end
end

Maybe someone else who got more map expeience is able to help here

Just talked to Votan and there does not seem to be a gogd way so here is another approach:

if we are inside any subzone of the map (which will be a city, a dungeon, whatever) we can let the function IsMapLocationVisible always return false so the pins won't be shown/added anymore. This should affect all pins hopefully.

Lua Code:

ZO_PreHook("IsMapLocationVisible", function()
 if GetParentZoneId ~= nil then
    local zoneId, subZoneId
    zoneId = GetParentZoneId ()
    if zoneId ~= nil then
       local zoneIndex = GetUnitZoneIndex("player")
       if zoneIndex ~= nil then
          subZoneId = GetZoneId(zoneIndex)
          if subZoneId ~= nil then return true end
       end
    end
 end
 return false
end)

Insert this function into the small addon's "HideMe v3" code via a text editor and try it. It should be placed inside the function for event_addon_loaded
"local function Addon_Loaded(eventCode, addOnName)", at the end before the closing end:

Lua Code:

local function Addon_Loaded(eventCode, addOnName)
        if addOnName ~= HideMe.name then return end
                ...
 
ZO_PreHook("IsMapLocationVisible", function()
 if GetParentZoneId ~= nil then
    local zoneId, subZoneId
    zoneId = GetParentZoneId ()
    if zoneId ~= nil then
       local zoneIndex = GetUnitZoneIndex("player")
       if zoneIndex ~= nil then
          subZoneId = GetZoneId(zoneIndex)
          if subZoneId ~= nil then return true end
       end
    end
 end
 return false
 
end

Thanks again!
Works great! This is very hardcore!:)
What need to write, so that in these zones quest pins are not displayed too.

Nothing, just disable them in the ESO base game settings? There should be an option to turn quest giver pins off.

There is no such setting. I want the quest pins (goals) to be displayed only on the maps of the regions, and disappear in the caves and cities (or better in the caves and houses).

Use PinKiller mod

Yes, I use Pin Killer, but it would be more convenient if the quest pins disappeared into the interiors automatically.
Do you really play completely without goal pointers? I tried, but in my opinion it is impossible.

Sorry no idea about the quest pins. I've done what I was able to help with, everything else is far away from my time left :p
