Placing a flag on a vehicle

[Mr.BoDean]

Is this possible (similar to the way it happens in a CTF game)?  Ideally, I would like to place 2 russian flags on a Ural on short flag poles   ala a Presidential motorcade look.

How would one do this?

If you want to put a flag on a vehicle, you must do the following:

_Flagpole SetFlagTexture "rus_valjka.pac"
_FlagPole SetFlagOwner _MyUral

Unfourtunately, it seems you want some more tricky: a script... Well, don't ask me to do so, i'm too stupid:

- Flag1 set position: UralFront_Right (relative positioning)
- Flag2 set position: UralFront_Left

Note: If you find a way of CamCreating a small flagpole and set its texture, the script will be quite simple.

Or you could make an addon for such vehicle.

M-m-m-m-make an addon?  Ummm ...methinks Komuna not know where I am from. I am just a bee from the town of Noo. .... A Noo-bee !   ;D Even with computers, I still have difficulty coloring inside the lines.  :tomato:

Hehe but thanks for the other bit. I have made flags on poles in missions, but obviously don't want an 8-ft. pole above the truck (would make it tough passing under bridges and trees.)    So I'll try some of those, thanks.

Unfortunately, you can't place a flag on a vehicle.

However you can give it to the driver of the vehicle, and it will appear on the outside

As for placing two of them, you might be lucky... I think Komuna is right, you would need some sort of small flagpole addon held in place by a looping script.

By the way, welcome to the forums

Hi Sui!
  So what command /method would I use to do this? And would I be able to give a flag to each of 2 Ural occupants or would the flags just be in the same place?

hmm... I'm trying to keep the number of addons down, since this will primarily be a 1.46 version MP mission for GameSpy play. That being said, has anyone seen such an addon anywhere?

      :wave:  Thanks ...I've actually been here quite a while ...I've got printouts of some of my old posts you answered last year.      When does my Llama-ship ever change?  :-X  Keep up the good work!  :thumbsup:

Ok, I think I've got it figured out ...I'm happy enough with the one flag , so I'll just kill off the 1 soldier in the truck and the flag stays put!    Thanks, guys.
