Change flag from Liberty

[Purzel 35]

Is it somehow possible to change the given US-flag on the USS Liberty *ingame* to another homemade flag?
The texture "pirateflag.paa" in folder "pictures is present, but I need a working code to change the flag via trigger.

liberty setflagtexture "pictures\pirateflag.paa";

Does NOT work... any suggestions?

I haven't tried it, but...

Not tested for quite some time, at least didn't work back when the destroyer came out, maybe it got fixed meanwhile:

_destroyer = MyLiberty; 
_flag = "a3\data_f\flags\flag_csat_co.paa"; 
 
_flag = [_destroyer, "ShipFlag_US_F"] call bis_fnc_destroyer01GetShipPart;//retrieves the part holding the flag
_flag setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"a3\data_f\flags\flag_csat_co.paa"];//didn't work back when I tested it last time

Just tested my snippet above, doesn't work ingame, during mission runtime, as requested by @purzel.

Maybe there's a workaround, no idea for now.

Ahhh, either I missed that part, or he added it for clarity later.

[Harzach 2516]

_destroyer = MyLiberty; 
_flag = [_destroyer, "ShipFlag_US_F"] call bis_fnc_destroyer01GetShipPart;
_flag setflagtexture "a3\data_f\flags\flag_csat_co.paa";

 

Make sure to execute where the Liberty is local.

Ah well, can't have enough texture-changing commands, I guess.

My solution via addAction:

 

I´ve attached a rope (Land_Rope_01_F) to the flagpole, so there´s a little "sparkling" eyecandy for players walking by...
in it´s init:

this addAction  ["<t color='#8FBC8F'>Change flag.</t>",{["scripts\flag.sqf","BIS_fnc_execVM",false,false] call BIS_fnc_MP}, nil,6,true,true,"","alive _target",3];

then in the flag.sqf:

_destroyer = liberty;  // "liberty" is the units name of my destroyer.
_flag = [_destroyer, "ShipFlag_US_F"] call bis_fnc_destroyer01GetShipPart;
_flag setflagtexture "pictures\jollyroger.paa";

That´s the working solution for multiplayer.

Bis_fnc_MP seems hard to die!

If you want to remove the flag, including the pole, like i wanted, just put this on the ship init:

{deleteVehicle _x;} forEach (this nearObjects ["ShipFlag_US_F",200]);
