flag weapon config name

[FiLL2d]

anyone know the weapon config name of a 'flag' so i am able to add it to an ammo crate etc.

"FlagCarrier"

hmm, thanks but it can't find the weapon

No entry 'config.bin/CfgWeapons.FlagCarrier'.

[Mandoble]

try:

Code: [Select]

myflag = "FlagCarrier" createVehicle getPos player

and see what happens.

BTW, AFAIK flags are not weapons.

I think he means the flag you get after you have taken the flag off the pole, the one you carry. That script produces a flag pole.

A flag isn't something you can add to an ammocrate (as far as I know). But there is a method that you can use I think.

- Create a soldier and name it player.
- Create a flagpole and in it's init write: this setflagTexture "rus_vlajka.pac"; this setpos [(getpos this select 0),(getpos this select 1),-10]; Name the flagpole: "vlajkaRUS".
- Create an ammocrate and name it "crate".
- Create a trigger and in it's condition put: ((player distance crate) < 5), in the on Activation Field put:
player addAction ["Take Flag","flag.sqs"];
- Create a file "flag.sqs" and put this code in it: vlajkaRus setFlagOwner player;

The player gets the flag now.

How would you created it as a single object. Without having to give it to a unit first.

Hmm. I don't think that this is possible. As the only objects related to flags you can create are the "FlagCarrier" and "Flags1".
You can only get a flag, I think by getting the flag of these poles. But there might be a solution for you, you might find it after dePBO'ing some CTFs.
