Jellyfish

Flag:	Jellyfish
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Boolean values: yes or no, true or false, 1 or 0
Default:	no
Applicable to:	VehicleTypes

Specifies whether this unit is a "jellyfish", i.e. a Tiberian Floater. Effects of this flag include:

• Enables the levitate locomotor to work properly on this unit.¹
• The AnimList of this unit's weapon(s) is ignored.
• The unit will use a hardcoded SHP animation sequence, and does not require an art(md).ini entry.

¹ ↑ Without Jellyfish=yes, a unit with the levitation locomotor will get stuck when approaching a target. In addition, although the unit will still be able to fire its weapon, the weapon will deal no damage.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations The value of this flag is reset if the unit's rules section is modified in a map. For example, suppose that the vehicle type [FOO] has Jellyfish=yes. If you add the section [FOO] into a map (e.g. for changing the unit's Name for that map), you must also redeclare Jellyfish=yes in that unit section.
