Tiberian Dawn Red Alert Tiberian Sun Firestorm Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge
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 Red Alert 2 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.
