SquadPicture As Flag Texture

[beno_83au 1362]

Having had a look around, and having never dabbled in squad.xml files, I've come to the hopeful conclusion that the following will add a squad's picture to a flag, if one exists:

 

initServer:

if (count (squadParams (leader _playerGroup)) > 0) then {
	if ((((squadParams (leader _playerGroup)) select 0) select 4) != "") then {
		_flag setFlagTexture (((squadParams (leader _playerGroup)) select 0) select 4);
	};
};

 

The aim is to have a player's squad picture assigned to a flag at the beginning of a mission. Will this work?

 

Thanks.

why not just load them as flag as .paa??

This is worth a try:

_flag setFlagTexture = [ player ] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia

The original example works, just make sure you test it on at least locally hosted MP, not in SP editor.

Thanks guys. When I'm off shift in a few days I'll have a go at setting up a squad.xml and try them out.
