Post subject:  Quick Map Question (Not Complicated at all)
Okay so I am redoing the Baltics map. I am making a large city and I want to add it as default map objects to the point where you CANNOT change their parameters just like you see in default normal FA maps. Well I added the objects into the MM from the mission and copied them directly and they show up in the map, no errors, but the parameters can still be changed.

I am thinking it is a command to do with flags $xxx

I want them to be none affected, ignored by objects, and shown on the map. This spits out flags $211 for me normally in the mission but how can I get it to be set?

To make the items permanent to the the map...

You have to change two areas of the object listing...

Flags and Alias numbers...

the Flags have to be changed according to this format...

$4113 to $4103

$13 to $03

$11 to $01

anotherwords the second from the last digit must always be a 0

AND the Alias number for the object (the object number in the MM file) needs to be in the 10000 range...

ANother words if it is the 100th object in the MM file its alias needs to be 10100...

for the 101st its needs to be 10101

for the 350th it needs to be 10350

etc...


For your specific question above your flags would have to be altered to $201, plus the alias changed...

Hope this solves your issue...

CAG out...
