Yeah I think rallly point interpolation is different.

Didn't houses have an 'occupied' flag?

In any case I would like to have them.

 

Speaking of those flags:

I think it's really wrong that buildings show the flag of the original builder and not the current owner. Who would fly the flag of the enemy after capturing a building?

The issue is known and the ticket has been updated.

• #4581 - Flags for all garrisonable buildings and units (20/May/17)
  • only "Ptol and Kush" have a garrison flag on their houses.

Actually the reason most animated objects don't have it is because it has been broken for a long time.

For the houses and such it's currently not possible engine wise to have the conqueror's flag as all the garrison flag are hardcoded in actors and controlled by artists unlike rally points.

The flag oscillates quite fast on those.

True, but at least they work.

Yeah anyway adding flags to houses is not hard, I'll see if I can do it for A26 or teach someone how to do it.

It's basically:

- Import Dae in Blender (make sure to click import units

(Some models might not import (correctly or at all) or reset all prop points be careful)

- Add a new empty object (shift +a)

- Rename it prop-garrisoned or prop_garrisoned (game doesn't care)

- move it to the correct location

- parent it to the building Ctrl + P with both selected and the structure as active (light yellow)

- Export back.

- Update the actor to use props by adding

<group>
    <variant name="ungarrisoned" frequency="1"/>
    <variant name="garrisoned" frequency="0">
        <props>
            <prop attachpoint="garrisoned" file="path to flag"/>
        </props>
    </variant>
</group>

It worked. Do I just always have to put the flag at the highest point of the house?

Well the idea is for it to be visible, so usually yes. You can be creative with it though.

(Note you used the Kushite flag)

Ideally, there should be garrison and projectile prop points for all buildings. You never know if the base game or mod wants to add garrison or shooting ability to any type of building.
