Modding question: vehicle flags

[Aniallator 164]

I'm new to modding and would like to get into it, and was wondering... is anyone willing to explain or provide a link to somewhere that explains how to create and add a flag to a vehicle, as in the below image?

I dont know about modding but you could use attachTo script command to attach the flag to the tank.

Nothing?

Give people time to see and read the post.

 

I am doing some research into flags and may have something in the upcoming weeks.  There appears to be a way to do it but I'm not there yet.

Okay thanks, I appreciate it! If it's a hassle don't feel obligated.
