You use Flags to plot out patrol points for characters. So, for example, you can plant several flags, place a soldier, click the "Shooter Icon" button, then drag a logic connection from the solider to the first flag, drag another connection from the first flag to the second, and so on. When you run the game, the soldier will patrol, moving to the first flag, then the second, etc.
