View source for Cell Spots

Cell spots, also known as sub-cells, are sub-units of a [[Cells|map cell]] used in [[InfantryTypes|infantry]] pathfinding, and in {{ts}}, warhead [[Spread]] calculations. A cell constitutes of five cell spots, one for the center and one for each corner. Infantry may occupy and move freely between cell spots, allowing for multiple infantry units to fit into one cell. In {{td}} and {{ra}} all five spots are used.

== Broken Spots ==

In {{ts}} through {{yr}}, the first two spots (0 and 1) appear unused, overlapping at the center of the cell. Infantry can normally only occupy the last three cell spots (2-4), i.e. the east, west, and south corners of the cell. However, infantry may sometimes appear at the center of the cell, for example when spawned on the map or ejected from a transport, but they are unable to move back to that spot.

Because the top corner of the cell has no cell spot, infantry cannot occupy it. They may still freely move through it, provided the adjacent spots are not occupied by [[TerrainTypes|terrain objects]] or other infantry.
