Im having a bit of trouble with the annoying Flag Beacons. In my map, they are actually a critical concept that I use, but they are useless when they dont do jackall.

What I try to do, is move a unit to a certain location right, and then spawn a Flag beacon above, and Its suppose to always have the COP ability. Which always allow you to reposition the beacon anywhere on the map. But this doesnt work for me! All it seems to do, is on a rare occasion, gets created and I can actually move it ONCE. So i try again, and the beacon gets created but the COP ability isnt there. It never shows up again. Can anyone tell me, how to actually create flag beacons that have the COP ability all the time?



None.

This isnt possible to what I know. They just work once and just the first few minutes.

Correct. A flag beacon can only use the ability once. After a few minutes all flag beacons lose the ability permanently and spawn a flag.



None.

It's after 10 minutes to be exact, and can someone please specify if a flag beacon has to be preplaced to allow this or not? I'm not certain.



None.

That is odd. I dont get it though. Who made Beacon Defense? The flag beacons in that...worked just fine, you could place the beacons anytime you wish.

After you use your beacon it just creates a new one for you, and the map only lasts ten minutes.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Westernhagen either, Fanta vier much better! But they didn't drop the lyrics that fit the situation. Farty: Ich bin wieder hier; nobody: in meinem Revier; Me: war nie wirklich weg
