Legacy:CTFFlag
From Unreal Wiki, The Unreal Engine Documentation Site
This is the flag in Capture the Flag. The two subclasses, xBlueFlag and xRedFlag, have their default properties set up with the corresponding skin and light color, and they also initate the animation loop.
SameTeamTouch and ValidHolder are the two functions most important to CTF gameplay.

Discussion[edit]
Uncommon: Anyone have an idea why the animation is set up in the subclasses? It's exactly the same in both.
SuperApe: These are Mesh animations. See the Mesh Browser.
