AlphaImage damage frame Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

Just a short Question

Is it possible to have a seperate alphaimage for the damage frame of a building? e.g. a street light wouldn't glow if it's half damaged.
I only know the tag AlphaImage= ,but it doesn't supports damage frames.

Hmm, interesting indeed... i did not expect it to even work on units, i cant find if the code actually uses it, only that it calls it.

is there anything else under ObjectClass, that is always used only on a certain type, but actually works on other things too?

How do you find out, to which class it belongs? If i look in the game.exe i can find the tag, but not to which class it belongs.
Since all tags are ordered in seperate parts, i would assume that CrushSound, Crushable, RadarInvisible, Selectable, LegalTarget, Strength, Immune, Insignificant, HasRadialIndicator, RadialColor, IgnoresFirestorm, Voxel, ga, na, gt, nt, ca, ct and APC also belong to ObjectTypeClass, because it stands there only 1 line above.

And if i'm correct and ct, ca, nt, gt, na and ga are the prefixes used on buildings and units inherit from objectclass, units can have theater specific images too.

In addition there is %sW that looks like as if not only the apc can have a water specific image, but every other unit too. HMECW.vxl should work this way too.
