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


If AltImage is set on this VehicleType then the vehicle will use a different image when it launches its spawns. Examples include the Dreadnought, Destroyer, and V3 Rocket Launcher. The image is internally stored in the same memory buffer as the turret so a unit cannot have both a turret and an alternate image.

The AltImage filename is derived from the normal Image by suffixing it with WO ("without"). For example, the Destroyer (DEST.vxl) has an alternate image of DESTWO.vxl.

This will cause an Internal Error if set on a vehicle that does not have the ability to spawn objects.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations Cannot be used with SHP vehicles.

Units always show xxxxxWO.vxl when attacked by Temporal weapons.

  • This bug has been fixed in Ares 3.0.

The original unit's shadow is displayed even when the spawn has left and the NoSpawnAlt unit is active.

  • This bug has been fixed in Phobos Build 39.
