Valid Values : positive number |

| NOTES: |
|
| - |
Do not confuse this event with
flags on structures and cities. This is purely a programming tool for keeping track of
things. |
| - |
See "Control flag"
event for more information. |
| - |
The Flagged condition
does not always work when the flag is changed (true to false, or false to true) by a Control
Flag event. If the Control Flag event occurs before the event containing this
condition, and if both events are triggered by the same trigger, then the event containing
this condition is ignored. (For example, if both events are triggered by the same Enter
Area occurrence). The event will be evaluated normally on the next occurrence of the
trigger, as long as the flag is not again changed before the event is evaluated. The
workaround for this is to be sure the flag is changed after any events based on it.
See our article, How Triggers Work, for a detailed example. |
