Applicable to: General

Logic related to RadarEventVisibilityDurations, as a whole or in part, is obsolete in Red Alert 2 and/or Yuri's Revenge.



The time (in frames) that the specified radar event continuously changes (flashes, changes color) after being fixed to a point on the map[1].

Notes

This flag requires six values, one per event. The events correspond to:

  1. Generic Combat Event
  2. Generic Noncombat Event
  3. Dropzone Event
  4. Base Attacked Event
  5. Harvester Under Attack Event
  6. Enemy Sensed Event

Events 7-17 are newly introduced in Red Alert 2, and this logic does not extend to them.

The relationship between this value and RadarEventDurations:

  • If this value of a radar event is smaller than the corresponding value in [General]RadarEventDurations=, then after the change ends, it will maintain the last state until it disappears.
  • If this value of a radar event is larger than the corresponding value in [General]RadarEventDurations=, then after the change lasts for the time specified by the latter, it will be interrupted and disappear directly. That is, RadarEventDurations always determines the existence time from fixation to disappearance.

  1. After the rotation phase ends
