	===Passengers===		===Passengers===
	{{f\|PipScale\|Passengers\|link}} is typically used for any [[~~VehicleType~~]] with {{f\|Passengers\|link}} to show that there are units inside it. The [[engine]] will always render a number of pips equal to {{tt\|Passengers}}. [[InfantryTypes]] loaded inside of the unit are represented by the icon determined by {{f\|Pip\|link}}. ~~VehicleTypes~~ are always represented by the sixth frame of ''pips2.shp''. If a loaded unit's {{f\|Size~~\|link~~}} is ~~larger~~ than ~~one~~, it will take up that many pips, with each pip beyond the first drawn using the fourth frame of ''pips2.shp''. The first frame is used to represent empty pips.		{{f\|PipScale\|Passengers\|link}} is typically used for any [[VehicleTypes\|vehicle]] with {{f\|Passengers\|link}} and {{f\|SizeLimit\|link}} each set to positive [[Help:Values#Integers\|integers]] greater than or equal to the combined {{f\|Size\|link}} of its passengers, to show that there are units inside of it. The [[engine]] will always render a number of pips equal to {{f\|Passengers}}. [[InfantryTypes\|Infantry]] loaded inside of the unit are represented by the icon determined by {{f\|Pip\|link}}. Loaded vehicles are always represented by the sixth frame of ''pips2.shp''. If a loaded unit's {{f\|Size}} is greater than 1, it will take up that many pips, with each pip beyond the first drawn using the fourth frame of ''pips2.shp''. The first frame is used to represent empty pips.

	In {{Yr}} this can also be used to indicate units loaded into a [[BuildingType]] with {{f\|UnitAbsorb\|yes\|link}}, {{f\|InfantryAbsorb\|yes\|link}}, or both ~~set~~. An absorbed ~~VehicleType~~ is represented by the fifth frame of ''pips.shp'', while the fourth frame is used for ~~InfantryTypes~~. In this case, the first frame of ''pips.shp'' is used to represent empty pips.

It should be noted that this is not the flag used to display occupancy pips; see {{f\|MaxNumberOccupants\|link}} for that.

	===Ammo===		===Ammo===
	This can be used to display the current number of rounds loaded on a unit with {{f\|Ammo\|link}}. This is typically used for [[AircraftTypes]], but it will display properly for any [[TechnoType]].		This can be used to display the current number of rounds loaded on a unit with {{f\|Ammo\|link}} set to a positive [[Help:Values#Integers\|integer]] greater than 0. This is typically used for [[AircraftTypes\|aircraft]], but it will display properly for any [[TechnoType]].

	In {{Ts}}, the seventh frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used to display the unit's current ammo supply. The engine will only draw up to five ammo pips individually. If the unit's total {{tt\|Ammo}} is over five, each pip represents 20 percent. Nothing will be drawn to represent empty pips.		In {{Ts}}, the seventh frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used to display the unit's current ammo supply. The engine will only draw up to five ammo pips individually.

	In {{Ra2}}, if {{f\|PipWrap\|0\|link}}, the 14th frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used ~~instead~~, and an individual pip will be drawn for each ammo point. Nothing will be drawn to represent empty pips.		In {{Ra2}}, if {{f\|PipWrap\|0\|link}} (the default value), the 14th frame (15th frame in {{Yr}}) of ''pips2.shp'' is used, and an individual pip will be drawn for each ammo point. Nothing will be drawn to represent empty pips.

	If {{tt\|PipWrap}} is ~~not <code>~~0~~</code>~~, a more specialized method of displaying ammo pips is used~~. See {{f\|PipWrap\|link}} for more information~~.		If {{f\|PipWrap}} is set to an integer greater than 0, a more [[PipWrap\|specialized method of displaying ammo pips]] is used.

	===Tiberium===		===Tiberium===
	{{f\|PipScale\|Tiberium~~\|link~~}} is used to ~~display~~ the ~~current~~ {{f\|~~Storage~~\|link}} ~~for VehicleTypes with~~ {{f\|~~Harvester~~\|yes\|link}} or {{f\|~~Weeder\|yes~~\|link}} set. Exactly five pips are rendered. The third frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used to represent stored ore in {{Ra2}}. In {{Ts}}, the second frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used for green Tiberium and veins. For gems (or blue Tiberium in TS), the sixth frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used. The first frame of ''pips2.shp'' is always used to represent an empty pip.		{{f\|PipScale\|Tiberium}} is used to show the amount for harvested ore on [[VehicleTypes\|vehicles]] with {{f\|Harvester\|yes\|link}} or {{f\|Weeder\|yes\|link}}, and {{f\|Storage\|link}} set to a positive [[Help:Values#Integers\|integer]] greater than 0. Exactly five pips are rendered; each indicating 20 percent of {{f\|Storage}}. The third frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used to represent stored ore in {{Ra2}}. In {{Ts}}, the second frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used for green [[Tiberium_(fictional_substance)\|Tiberium]] and veins. For gems (or blue Tiberium in TS), the sixth frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used. The first frame of ''pips2.shp'' is always used to represent an empty pip.

	In {{Yr}}, this is also used to display the current {{tt\|Storage}} for ~~InfantryTypes~~ that can gather ore in an enslaved state. The pips are rendered in the same way as they are for ~~VehicleTypes~~, but only three are used instead.		In {{Yr}}, this is also used to display the current {{f\|Storage}} for infantry that can gather ore in an enslaved state. The pips are rendered in the same way as they are for vehicles, but only three are used instead; each indicating one third {{f\|Storage}}.

	In {{Ts}}, this is also used to display [[Tiberium]] storage for [[BuildingTypes]] such as refineries and silos. In this case, the second frame of ''pips.shp'' is used, while the first frame is used for empty pips. The [[engine]] will draw as many pips as it takes to span the selection box.

	===Charge===		===Charge===
	This should only used in {{Fs}} for VehicleTypes with {{f\|IsMobileEMP\|yes\|link}} ~~set~~. Exactly eight pips will be drawn; each representing 12.5 percent of {{f\|MaxCharge\|link}}. The second frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used for complete portions of the full charge, while the first frame is used for the incomplete portions.		This should only be used in {{Fs}} for [[VehicleTypes\|vehicles]] with {{f\|IsMobileEMP\|yes\|link}}. Exactly eight pips will be drawn; each representing 12.5 percent of {{f\|MaxCharge\|link}}. The second frame of ''pips2.shp'' is used for complete portions of the full charge, while the first frame is used for the incomplete portions.

	===MindControl===		===MindControl===
	This is only used in {{Yr}} to display the number of mind-controlled units for an ~~InfantryType~~, ~~VehicleType~~, or ~~BuildingType~~ with a [[weapon]] whose [[warhead]] has {{f\|MindControl\|yes\|link}} ~~set~~. {{f\|PipScale\|MindControl\|link}} will display a number of pips equal to {{f\|Damage\|link}} set on the mind control weapon. The second frame of ''pips2.shp'' (or ''pips.shp'' for ~~BuildingTypes~~) is used to represent each mind-controlled unit, while the first frame is used for empty pips.		This is only used in {{Yr}} to display the number of mind-controlled units for an [[InfantryTypes\|infantry]], [[VehicleTypes\|vehicle]], or [[BuildingTypes\|building]] with a [[weapon]] whose [[warhead]] has {{f\|MindControl\|yes\|link}}. {{f\|PipScale\|MindControl\|link}} will display a number of pips equal to {{f\|Damage\|link}} set on the mind control weapon. The second frame of ''pips2.shp'' (or ''pips.shp'' for buildings) is used to represent each mind-controlled unit, while the first frame (of the respective .shp file) is used for empty pips.

	If the mind control weapon also has {{f\|InfiniteMindControl\|yes\|link}} ~~set~~ and the controlling unit controls more units than it has pips, an additional pip will be drawn to represent "mind-control overload". This pip will use the fifth frame of ''pips2.shp'' (or ''pips.shp'' for ~~BuildingTypes~~), but will briefly switch to the fourth frame each time the controlling unit takes damage specified by {{f\|OverloadDamage\|link}}.
