| Flag: | Anim |
| File(s): | Rules(md).ini |
| Values: | Strings (names of Animations) |
| Special Values: | none |
| Default: | none |
| Applicable to: | Weapons |
Specifies the animation to play as "muzzle flash" for this weapon.
Automatic List Inclusion
Animations used as values for this flag are automatically listed under the internal [Animations] array. However no harm can be done by listing them manually.
Facing-specific animations
(Doesn't apply to Red Alert.) If you specify eight comma-separated values, the game uses them to depict 8 different facings clockwise:
[M60] Anim=MGUN-N,MGUN-NE,MGUN-E,MGUN-SE,MGUN-S,MGUN-SW,MGUN-W,MGUN-NW
Note
[Warhead] ► Parasite=yes will force [Weapon] ► Anim=(list of animations) to be processed as if there are 8 directions.
- In other words, if you do not specify 8 animations, the parasite's firing animation will only play correctly when the parasitized unit is facing a specific direction.
