# setMarkerSize

*Command · Markers · Arma 3 v0.50 · introduced in Operation Flashpoint v1.21*

Locality: effect **global**

## Description

Sets the marker's size.

> [!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).

## Syntax

```sqf
markerName setMarkerSize [a-axis, b-axis]
```

**Parameters:**

- `markerName`: [String](../topics/String.md)
- `a-axis`: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - 1/2 width of marker
- `b-axis`: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - 1/2 height of marker

**Returns:** [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md)

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
"MarkerOne" setMarkerSize [100, 200];
```
