BZEdit can't add flags, you've got to put them in by hand.
Open up your map file in TextEdit if you're using a Mac, or Notepad if you're running Windows. Scroll down to the end of the file and add in:

Code: Select all

zone
  position 0.0 0.0 0.0    # location of flag on map
  rotation 0    # not really necessary 
  size 1.0 1.0 1.0    # how big of an area the flag can spawn in
  zoneflag GM 1    # the amount and type of flag in the zone
end
This will give you one GM flag that will spawn in the center of your map. Change the variables around to suit your needs.
However, if you just want say 5 SW flags to spawn anywhere on your map, type in +f SW{5} in the options part of the map.
Or, wait a few months and BZWorkbench will allow you to add in flag zones.
