iknow this has been asked before but how do u put an actual flag on the flage pole

[DestroyerX 0]

First get the official flagpack from the download section on this site. Then insert a unit. (Empty and it must be an object) the object is all down on the list: "Flag (International)" then put in the init. field of the flag:

this setflagtexture "\flags\Netherlands.jpg"

For example

If you just want the American or Russian flag, then insert an object unit and this may be the standard 'flag'. And type this in the init.field:

this setflagtexture "usa-vlajka.pac"

this setflagtezture "rus-vlajka.pac"

Oh yeah! DestroyerX is back from his editing break!

You need the offical BIS flagpack located here. Go to the download section.

Well everybody should have the flagpack because it's included in one of the patches (I think).

Yes, that's true...

How do you make it possible for the players to take the flag? Like in CTF...

Negative.

this setflagtexture "usa_vlajka.pac"

this setflagtexture "rus_vlajka.pac"

Now it's fully correct and does work.

Thanks for correcting Neo. So, if you want a Russian flag on a flag you put in the init.field this: this setflagtexture "rus_vlajka.pac";

im making a campaign so i dont want the user to download add-ons, but i was wondering...... the command to use the flags is.....

this setFlagTexture "\Flags\Czech.jpg"

and this file is under ur mission directroy, so would the jpeg be complied wiv the rest of the mission

Why dont you just download the flagpack and read the readme ?

[Damage Inc 0]

The flagpack is in one of the patches so the user doesn't have to download any addons.

When you make the mission, just put the flag in the mission-directory. (user/missions/yourmission). When you compile the mission the flag will be compiled with it (just as pic.paa is attached) therefore you can use customflags without problem :-)
