Map icon for flag, ideas?

[stan0033]

Hi all, I am making a Capture the flag map and the flag carriers have to appear on the map with Flag icons. Any ideas how to do this?
I tried to do it by putting ability on each flag(item) which is based on gold mien ability/blighted gold mine ability to use the icon of the mines and replaced the icon in Interface with mine, but this is not working.

Is it possible to give them the ability directly (No need for items)? If not then creating a dummy unit with the ability that will follow th00em could work.

Another way to achieve it would be using the special minimap icon:

• -------- The action/function below allows textures sized as 16 x 16 --------
• Neutral Building - Change the special minimap icon to UI\Minimap\Minimap-Tower
• Neutral Building - Turn special minimap icon On for UNIT

Looking at this I suppose the special icon can be only 1. Multiple units cannot use different icons, right?

there's one for shops also but I don't know if those can even move
