Need Help with CTF Objective

I'm just wondering how to make a CTF objective in campaign. If someone could point out my error it'd be great. When it gets to the objective the flag never appears.

The flag is called flag
I also have the ScriptCB_DoFile("ObjectiveCTF")
and objectiveSequence:AddObjectiveSet(Objective8) in the right places
The section of the LUA:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Objective8 = ObjectiveCTF:New{teamATT = ATT, teamDEF = DEF, captureLimit = 1, text = "level.GA3.objectives.campaign.8", AIGoalWeight = 0}

    Objective8:AddFlag{name = "flag", homeRegion = "", captureRegion = "cp1_capture", capRegionMarker = "hud_objective_icon", capRegionMarkerScale = 3.0, mapIcon = "flag_icon", mapIconScale = 2.0}

    Objective8.OnStart = function(self)

        SetProperty("flag", "GeometryName", "com_icon_republic_flag")

        SetProperty("flag", "CarriedGeometryName", "com_icon_republic_flag_carried")

        flag_capture_on = OnFlagPickUp(

        function(flag, carrier)

            if IsCharacterHuman(carrier) then

                MapAddEntityMarker("cp1", "hud_objective_icon", 4.0, ATT, "YELLOW", true)				

            end

        end,

        "flag"

        )

        flag_capture_off = OnFlagDrop(

        function(flag, carrier)

            if IsCharacterHuman(carrier) then

                MapRemoveEntityMarker("cp1")				

            end

        end,

        "flag"

        )

     end

    Objective8.OnComplete = function (self)

        ShowMessageText("game.objectives.complete", ATT)

        ReleaseFlagPickUp(flag_capture_on)

        ReleaseFlagDrop(flag_capture_off)

        MapRemoveEntityMarker("cp1")

    end

Anyone? I kinda need to know why this isn't working... or whether anything at all is right...

Did you place the flag in ZeroEdit? Are there any errors in your debug log? If you don't know what that is, the modding FAQ will tell you how to get it.

Well I think that's where my error is. I placed my flag but it never shows up at all, not even in ZeroEdit. In the BF2 log it said it couldn't find my flag.
