Setflagtexture

[Schwab 0]

Easy description, no solution yet:

I have flagpoles all over sahrani, i added an action to them which calls a script.

The script says

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_caller = _this select 1;

_callerside = side _caller;

...

switch (_callerside) do

{

case west:

{

(_flag) setFlagTexture

"\ca\misc\data\usa_vlajka.paa";

};

case east:

{

(_flag) setFlagTexture

"\ca\misc\data\sever_vlajka.paa";

};

};

The flag turns correct to west or eastflag depending on who is calling the script. But wtf ? 5-6 seconds later the flag turns into this blue-white striped thingy again ?

Any idea why ? It's the only place in whole mission where setflagtexture is used.

Maybe the effect is not global ? Do i have to publish the flag at the end ?

Nobody an idea ? Some1 who changes Flags successfully with an Actionmenu in his mission maybe ?

Local its working correct and it does not switch back. Only when on dedicated it first gets new texture, and then switches back after some seconds.

Even if i publish the flagpole after switching it does switch back....

What can this be ?

That's a global command. Only the server should execute it.

As to why it changes back.. I dunno!

Did you put it in the init part?

Nope. The flags are set in the editor, so in the mission.sqm.

The addaction is added there aswell.

a script running on the server calling the setflagtexture command will set the flags globally to all clients ... as global markers do.

so JIP players only need to be informed by setflagtexture and setmarkercolor as onplayerconnect event was fired instead of using publicvariables.

UGAH!

Zaphod, are you sure new people need to be informed about setFlagTexture?! I understand they need new marker info... but I don't think setFlagTexture needs to be sent.

EDIT: I just tested & it doesn't need to be resent... setFlagTexture that is.
