Code Examples

This example creates a "flag" element, named "blue", which will be at the resource's dynamic map.
Except for it being placed in a different map root, that line will have the same effect as having this in a .map file:
<flag id="blue" />Lua
local blueTeamFlag = createElement("flag", "blue")See Also
