Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations

  • In Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, using special anims with refineries gives highly unusual results; if the harvester has no ore, then the animation will not be played at all. It appears that the animation plays frames, up to a short but unknown limit, depending on how much ore the harvester deposits. Presumably this is part of an unused logic to play an 'ore dumping' animation.
  • If SpecialAnim is used with IsAnimDelayedFire and all related flags, the Image from Primary and ElitePrimary is ignored.
