changing flag textures and getting them to stay changed

[filth]

i have a bit of a problem with a mission where i give the player the ability to change flags on a flagpole using the add action command.

in my init.sqs i have the following line:

flag1 setflagtexture "\Flags\Mozambique.jpg"

in the init field of the flag pole, i have:

this addAction ["Raise the US flag", "flag1.sqs"];

which runs the script:

~0.5

firstflag = true;

"1" objstatus "done";

"flag1" SetMarkercolor "ColorBlue";

flag1 removeAction 0;

hint "US flag flying at Well 1.";

flag1 setflagtexture "\Flags\usa.jpg";

; exit the script
exit

which works perfectly in the editor, but when i play it from the missions menu, the flag turns to the stars and stripes for about 2 seconds then resets itself to the previous flag texture.

can anyone tell me how to get it to stay as the us flag?

thx

filth.

Well, it should work, but if for some misterious reason it doesnt try:

Code: [Select]

~0.5
firstflag = true;
"1" objstatus "done";
"flag1" SetMarkercolor "ColorBlue";
hint "US flag flying at Well 1.";
_pos = getPos flag1
deleteVehicle flag1

_flag = "FlagCarrier" createVehicle _pos
_flag setflagtexture "\Flags\usa.jpg"
exit

i'll give it a try.

thx mandoble.
