# setMarkerBrush

*Command · Markers · Arma 3 v0.50 · introduced in Operation Flashpoint: Elite v1.00*

Locality: effect **global**

## Description

Selects the fill texture for the marker ("RECTANGLE" or "ELLIPSE"). Brush is the name of the subclass in `CfgMarkerBrushes`.

> [!NOTE]
> **Multiplayer optimisation:** Global marker commands always broadcast the *entire* marker state over the network.
> As such, the number of network messages exchanged when creating or editing a marker can be reduced by performing all but the last operation using local marker commands, then using a global marker command for the last change (and subsequent global broadcast of all changes applied to the marker).
