Specifies if an alternate [[image]] should be loaded for the object based on the map's [[Theaters|theater]]. If this is set, the game will discard the {{Tt|SHP}} extension of the filename and use the same extension this theater's terrain tiles use. Correspondingly, the file it uses is not necessarily the standard tem file, such as the original {{tt|tree##.tem}}. The characters used for each theater can be found on the [[Theaters]] page.
{{HorizontalBar|Although this flag is parsed on all object types, it only works properly on [[SHP]] art.}}
In {{ra2}}/{{yr}}, {{f|Theater|yes}} essentially hardcodes the object to be a [[TerrainTypes|terrain object]]. Ore can spawn and grow in their [[Foundation]] range, and they can use the relevant {{f|SpawnsTiberium|link}}, {{f|IsAnimated|link}}, {{f|AnimationRate|link}}, and {{f|AnimationProbability|link}} flags associated with spawning ore.
Specifies if an alternate [[image]] should be loaded for the object based on the map's [[theatres|theatre]]. If this is set, the game will discard the {{Tt|SHP}} extension of the filename and use the same extension this theatre's terrain tiles use. The characters used for each theatre can be found on the [[Theatres]] page.
Objects with {{f|Theater|yes}} will furthermore not accept most art flags such as {{f|ActiveAnim|link}} or {{f|Palette|link}}.
The Theater=yes tag essentially hardcodes the object to be [[TerrainTypes]]. Tiberium can spawn and grow in their [[Foundation]] range, and they can use the relevant [[SpawnsTiberium]], [[IsAnimated]], [[AnimationRate]], and [[AnimationProbability]] associated with spawning tiberium. Furthermore, the game regards them as a 'tree' in terms of pathfinding such that the area in their [[Foundation]] range becomes unbuildable and impassable to vehicles, but infantry can pass through them. If the relevant tags [[TemperateOccupationBits]]=/[[SnowOccupationBits]] are set to high numbers like 7, the infantry will have a hard time leaving the 'tree' area, and if they are low numbers like 0 the infantry will move freely through. Objects with Theater=yes will furthermore not accept most art tags such as [[ActiveAnim]]= or [[Palette]]=
==Note==
*For the [[TerrainTypes]] object, even if '''Theater=yes''' is not specified, if you have an object file whose extension ends with a theater abbreviation, such as .tem .sno .urb etc., when you play in that theater, the object image will change to the current image in that theater file.
=={{Bugs}}==
* Although this flag is parsed on all object types, it only works properly on [[shape]] art.
* This flag does not work with [[InfantryTypes]].

Specifies which [[Theaters|theater]] this map should use. Technically, this allows you to change the theater of the map at will, for example from a snow map to a temperate map, without otherwise editing the map or creating a whole new map.<br>
However, most theaters have minimal interchangeability because their tilesets don't always have equivalents in all theaters. Therefore, changing the map theater may result in graphical errors.
