1. Adding custom flag
Adding a custom flag requires you to create an addon containing specific classes and properties in the config.
1.1 Add the item
The easiest way to add a new item is to inherit from an existing flag item. For a item to be detected by the framework, it must have the ace_flags_texture and ace_flags_carrier properties defined.
class CfgWeapons {
class ace_flags_white;
class CBA_MiscItem_ItemInfo;
class TAG_MyFlag: ace_flags_white {
author = "Me";
displayName = "Flag (Mine)"; // Item/Flag name
picture = "\addon_prefix\data\pictures\my_flag_inventory_pic.paa"; // Path to the picture for the inventory item
ace_flags_texture = "\addon_prefix\data\flags\my_flag.paa"; // Path to the flag texture
ace_flags_carrier = "TAG_Carrier_MyFlag"; // Classname of the corresponding vehicle that gets placed.
// Path to the icon for the place action. Do not overwrite for default white icon (inherited by ace_flags_white).
ace_flags_actionIconPlace = "\addon_prefix\data\icons\my_flag_place_icon.paa";
// Path to the icon for the carry action. Do not overwrite for default white icon (inherited by ace_flags_white).
ace_flags_actionIconCarry = "\addon_prefix\data\pictures\my_flag_carry_icon.paa";
class ItemInfo: CBA_MiscItem_ItemInfo {
mass = 6.6; // (Optional) Overwrite default item/flag mass. We're assuming 300g.
};
};
};
1.2 Add the carrier
Each flag item requires a flag carrier. This is the object that is placed. Inherit from an existing flag carrier, so that the pickup action is shown and the flag texture is set as defined in the corresponding item config.
class CfgVehicles {
class ace_flags_carrier_white;
class TAG_Carrier_MyFlag: ace_flags_carrier_white {
author = "Me";
displayName = "Flag (Mine)"; // Item/Flag name
editorPreview = "\addon_prefix\data\editorpreviews\my_flag_carrier.jpg"; // Preview picture shown in editor
};
};
