Flags on vehicles?

Recommended Posts

Alright, I'll bite and be the first.

 

Laws of War DLC comes with flags attached to vehicles. These flags aren't the usual flag poles, and they are much smaller. So here's the question: How?

 

There aren't any new flag assets of such kind that one would attach to the vehicle as far as I could see. So what's up with that? Some new fancy magic or simple trickery?

Fancy. I knew I've read about it already somewhere before, but wasn't sure anymore if it's related to this. Thanks.

With vehicles... Does anyone know the list of supported vehicles? Does this attach a flag to the vehicle somehow? Similar to the Strider? (Laws of War DLC - Dev build)

all vehicles should support flags - let me know if something is missing.

That's awesome! LOL at the Karts with flags haha. I tested all vehicles and UTVs across all sides. All appear to work perfectly! Good job. Only thing I noticed is, the flag doesn't render until you get really close even though I can see the vehicle just fine... Lastly... i don't suppose you know a work-around for this issue:

This doesn't seem to happen on VR, most likely because of wind, etc... It does on Altis though, as you can see. I tried the setWind command which fixes it pretty much except for when you turn your head. I guess that's the down side if you are the flag carrier. I previously tried to hide the flag texture when in first person but I think the issue was that, the effect was global (if I remember correctly)? Back to what I was saying though... Is there a command to set wind or something on objects? I disabled simulation which broke it in general. Was just curious anyway! (:

Awsome feature. However, I've just noticed that the flag on the HMMT truck is slightly misplaced. Maybe that's something you can tweak a bit.

One more thing. The FIA vehicles have different flags, they are "sideways" / out of the window:

forceFlagTexture isn't the same.

How's that one done?

Probably got the flag sitting in the cup holder or someshit. Good form

Is it just me being stupid or does the Marshall not have a flag holder?

That's what I expected, but it didn't.

And I always thought the command is bugged, I only tried it on the marshall...

Seems to have some issues though, randomly works from object init but always during mission runtime. Prowler had no flag 50% of the time.

Anyone figured out a way of moving the flags? Was hoping to have a Presidential/Ambassadorial SUV limo with a front wing flag...
