Flag Zone

[Bountty_Hunter]

Okay, I need help with flag zones. I want 10 laser and 5 gm flags to spawn on top of a box that is: Position -340 -105 0 and the Size 60 5 15

So in order to get the flags to spawn on top of that box I input this:

Code: Select all

zone
name zone_1
	position -340 -105 15
	size 60 5 0
	rotation 0
	zoneflag L 10
	zoneflag GM 5
end

But when I test it, the flags don't spawn on top, but on the bottom. So what am I doing wrong?

[mrapple]

add

Code: Select all

-fb

to your config

(allows flags to spawn on buildings (-sb allows tanks to spawn on buildings))

Okay, it works. THANKS!!

Ok. Here is a problem

I have specified this in the config:

Code: Select all

+f A{3}
  +f BU{3} 
  +f ID{3} 
  +f IB{3} 
  +f MG{3} 
  +f MQ{3} 
  +f N{3} 
  +f OO{3} 
  +f F{3} 
  +f SH{3} 
  +f SW{3} 
  +f ST{3} 
  +f SB{3} 
  +f TH{3} 
  +f V{3} 
  +f WG{3}

and it works fine, except for the fact that flags spawn in places that I don't want.

So I read the wiki and it said:

flag- Listed flag will spawn in the zone. The flags must be be specified for the server via BZFS options. One flag per call.

So I set up this code, but all the flags spawn in the center of the map.

Code: Select all

zone
  name AllZone
  size 500.000000 500.000000 0.000000
  position 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
  rotation 0.0
  flag A
  flag BU 
  flag ID 
  flag IB 
  flag MG 
  flag MQ 
  flag N 
  flag OO 
  flag F 
  flag SH 
  flag SW 
  flag ST 
  flag SB 
  flag TH 
  flag V 
  flag WG
end

The same thing happens when I remove the flags from the config and use zoneflag.

Help please?

Thanks!

Then there is probably a problem something else. Did you forget to include the -fb option which allows flags to spawn on buildings?

[optic delusion]

you might try putting all the flags on one line in the zone.
flag A BU ID IBMG MQ N OO F.....

[Scythio]

@blast. I did add -fb. they show up on buildings. Optic, I tried that before, but it didn't work. I will give it a try again.

[mrapple]

This is incorrect syntax and will not work.

[Scythio]

Ok. Thanks for all the help guys! I finally got it working.

[optic delusion]

mrapple, thanks for telling me, what's the correct syntax?

[Scythio]

The correct syntax is

zoneflag L 3
zoneflag GM 3
etc.

[dango]

zoneflag and flag are two different, unrelated options

flag denotes a spawnzone where a flag can spawn. These flags are added to the map via +f or -s/+s

zoneflag adds a flag to only that zone, and is independent of +f

[Scythio]

@me1 I am aware of this. Originally I had +f in my config, and was trying to use flag. When that didn't work, I went to try flag zone again, which hadnt worked previously, but this time it did.
