Indp. Uniform Flags Issue

[afsf06 31]

Hello,

I'm currently working on an independent uniform retexture, and I have run into a problem with it. i would like there to be two separate patches on either sleeve - US Flag on one, and a unit designation on the other, however there is a problem...I'll let the pictures speak to that problem....

 

 

The unit designation is being covered by the flag patch. Is there a way to override this so that on this arm, the unit designation can replace the flag, but have the flag on the other arm?

 

Here is the other arm:

I want to keep the US Flag on this arm....and have edited the texture to display on this arm...but I can't find where the flag texture is on the other arm? Is the flag just mirrored on the other arm - making what I'm trying to do impossible? Or is there a work around??

 

Hope that's all clear as mud. If you need me to clarify let me know.

 

Thanks for any help in advance.

Yes.

 

To confirm it, colour the US flag in distinct colours or write something on it. I'm 99.99% 100% certain it'll just mirror to the other sleeve.

Tried as you suggested....it is in fact mirrored....thanks for the help. So disappointing!

go the other way, replace the unit ID with a custom patch, that will then show BELOW the flag.

You think there is something that can be done with the hidden selection or something similar to just remove the flag?

Not unless its already a named selection, which I am fairly confident it isn't

TL;DR: No.
