	<Scripts>
		<OnLoad>
			LeiShenCoordinator_MarkerOnLoad(self, "bluesquare")
		</OnLoad>
	</Scripts>
</Button>

And your initialisation code in Lua like this:

lua Code:

local markerIndexes = {
    bluesquare = 1,
    greentriangle = 2,
    purplediamond = 3,
    redcross = 4,
    yellowstar = 5,
}
 
function LeiShenCoordinator_MarkerOnLoad(self, marker)
    local index = markerIndexes[marker]
    
    -- Set world marker on left-click:
    self:SetAttribute("type1", "worldmarker")
    self:SetAttribute("marker1", index)
    self:SetAttribute("action1", "set")
    
    -- Clear world marker on right-click:
    self:SetAttribute("type2", "worldmarker")
    self:SetAttribute("marker2", index)
    self:SetAttribute("action2", "clear")
end

Thanks again for this. I have it placed in my Lua just fine and placing markers works great. Using the right click to try to clear a marker does not work though. I have spent the last few hours trying find another way of clearing them all (including macrotext) but am getting stumped again sadly. I have made the changed to a better naming as was said by Phanx (TY!). But other than that it is bugging me.
Thanks
