I need to use the flag beacons in my map as I've ran out of normal beacons. From memory though, a flag seems to appear at the beacon after a duration of time. Is there any way to prevent this?

I'm not sure if there's any way to stop the flag appearing. the "Place COP" thing where you can place a flag beacon anywhere on the map when it is owned by a human player can be disabled, though.

If disabling it as in that page doesn't prevent the flags, then I guess you'll need a trigger that checks for a flag, and when found, removes it.

Yeah I remember having to use a Remove Flag trigger
Try Lanth's method first

Okay well it's not ideal, but I will have to just use a 'remove' trigger. Thanks for help.
