I got a problem with deleting a marker on mouse click. Well, the thing isnt as simple as it seems.

function addPoint(event) {
path.insertAt(path.length, event.latLng);

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
  position: event.latLng,
  map: map
});
markers.push(marker);
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
  marker.setMap(null);
  markers.splice(i, 1);
  }
);

If i used that code, adding listener right away when creating marker, deleting it would be easy, cuz i refer to marker.setMap(null);. But in my case i want them to be created, and then i want to add the event listener to them using

function usun(){
for (var i=0; i<markersArray.length; i++){
    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
        alert('lol');
    });
}

I am pushing each marker to markersArray which lets me to add event to each of it now, but how can i delete it? When i put marker.setMap(null); in place of the alert, it says marker is not defined, and i dunno how can i refer to marker i just clicked :S
also cant use marker as global variable, cuz i am getting Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '__e3_' of undefined error.

EDIT:
if i try using

function usun(){
for (var i=0; i<markersArray.length; i++){
    google.maps.event.addListener(markersArray[i], 'click', function() {
        markersArray[i].setMap(null);
    });
}

}
i get the error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'setMap' of undefined. Thats why i was sure i need to use “marker”.

    In your for loop you are not referring to the marker that is in the array.

    try this:

    function usun(){
    for (var i=0; i < markersArray.length; i++){
    
        google.maps.event.addListener(markersArray[i], 'click', function() {
            this.setMap(null);
        });
    
    }
    

    working example: http://jsfiddle.net/52nJc/1/
