Marker toggle / visibility issues

What other programs/plugins are you running?

None

What is happening?

If you toggle a marker on and exit persist mode you can't disable the marker because right click wont work. With this the hit box is gone so you have to do a manual kill to the stand.

With the marker on when you look up the stand disappears and reappears when looking back at it.

What did you expect to happen?

Enable / disable marker setting in any mode
Stand to stay visible always

Do I understand this right: Your issue is that once you set an Armor Stand as marker and deselected it that you weren't able to change it back to a non-marker because you can't interact with it it?

If so then that's a bit of a difficult problem to solve seeing as a marker Armor Stand doesn't have a hitbox to interact with which a plugin could listen on. One solution would be to use the normal Vanilla commands with a radius to remove the marker setting again in such a case. I guess a solution for the plugin itself could be a command to select Armor Stands via some other means eg. a radius.

That was correct, I thought it was odd to be able to set a marker with no way to remove it. I guess that is just how they work. Is there a way to disable player interaction so others can't remove the items on another way?

Well I just learned that Vanilla has a functionality to disable certain slots of armor stands to achieve exactly that so I'll look into adding that :) If you want you can open a new ticket about slot disabling/locking so you'll get notified once that's added.

For now I suggest using some kind of protection/locking plugin for that (e.g. LWCX has entity support).
