What do the flag beacons do? They have a button called Place COP which changes their position.

There for Capture the Flag Mode.

Flags are created after they've been there for a period of time, or else when someone moves onto them or clicks them.

Sorry, i wrote that in bad grammar. I meant they'll appear after time, no matter the amount of Clicks or Movements over them you make, after a set time, which i've not worked out they just appear.

So why was the Place COP option put into them then?

I guess it's for placing your map before the "game" Capture the Flag begins

yeah havent you ever played Capture the flag? You start off with the beacon in your base and you have to option of moving it where you want.

Are Flag beacons any different for when u are making locations and triggers or does it just give u more possible common locations or what?

The placed COP beacon is just like anyother flag beacon but it can't be moved.

It helps so you can have an instantaneous movement.
It just has a different name

If you give it to another player, can it be moved? Can it be moved again if given back? And will it drop flags on it if it is given to a computer player after being moved by a person.
Heh, I never played much with Flag Beasons.
The power of moving Flag Beacons was shown in Beacon defense, where you used the beacon to place bunkers.

If you disable a Flag Beacon it stops producing the Flags.

Well Coko that makes sense, I mean you are disabling it.

Ok,I have a Golem map
(where units spawn 1/sec, and you need to kill other player's bunker)
I used COP as an option to mass atack point (you Place COP, and all your units rush that point, than beacon is returned back.)
The problem is: when flag is created, Place COP button is gone.
Question: Does the 1 minute delay start when the game is started, or when the beacon is created.
Is there any way to return the 'place COP' button?

Just make a trigger that if the player brings a flag remove both the beacon and the flag and create a new one....
