How to get the flag of the country a player lives in

[KrimsonWoIf]

Hello I’m trying to get the flag of the country a player lives in. I know that

game:GetService("LocalizationService"):GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync(game.Players.LocalPlayer)

exists however there are 195 countries and finding an image for all of them would take forever.
is there a better method of doing this?

also if I were to make a dictonary containing a list of maybe the top 20 countries in population how do I know the acryonom that it will return? is there a list somewhere out there

It looks like there’s a module made for getting the flag of a specific country, with an article, example place, and the code for it on GitHub.

ProoCountry (country flags module)

Hi guys, I came here to show this library that took me a way too long to make. Essentially what it does is grab on the code of a country and return a decal of its flag/name. All flags have been manually uploaded by me and have a similar aspect ratio (tried to keep them as close to each other as possible). This can be used to develop country leaderboards, displayers and or basically anything that is country related. Here’s an example on how to use it: --[[ This is a local script inside of …

I don’t use github why cant they just make a model? also downloading models is so annoying why couldnt they just provide all the code???

The code on GitHub is just the source code, to actually use it all you need to do is put this module script in the Replicated Storage and require it in your scripts. If you don’t know how to use a module, I could help you.

Here is the example code they provided:

--[[
    This is a local script inside of the player scripts
]]

--Services||
local LocalizationService 	= game:GetService("LocalizationService")
local ReplicatedStorage 	= game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players 				= game:GetService("Players")
----------||

--Dependencies||
local countries = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ProoCountry"))
--------------||

--Variables||
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
-----------||

--Methods||
local result, code = pcall(function()
	--Get the country code
	return LocalizationService:GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync(player)
end)

if result and code ~= nil then
	
	--Get the information about this count (both name and flag)
	local countryData = countries.getCountry(code)
	print(countryData)
else
	warn("Couldn't proccess players country")
end

Maybe check out the link next time so you actually understand how to use this module because it’s pretty easy to put and use in Studio.

Maybe check out the link next time

damn kind of passive aggressive. And yes I did check the link out for your information as well as going to the github. I copied the giant table of all the countries and am working with it right now.

Oh, ok. I’m sorry if I sounded a bit passive-aggressive, my fault. Glad to see it working for you, though!
