Wall

Buildings

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

This flag determines whether or not a building should have special wall construction logic, which will convert it to overlay object when it is created.

In order for this logic to work as desired—and not throw an IE—it is necessary for the building's corresponding Art(md).ini entry to have ToOverlay set to a valid overlay object with Wall=yes^↓. It is not necessary for the overlay object to share the same object name as the building, though doing so is certainly an acceptable shortcut.

As a special case, GuardRange can be used to facilitate faster wall construction.

Overlay objects

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

This flag determines whether or not an overlay object should have special logic classifying it as a wall.

An overlay object with Wall=yes and can be damaged by warheads in the following ways:

Flag on warhead	Result on overlay object
Wood=yes	Damage, but only if overlay object has Armor=wood
Wall=yes↓	Damage, regardless of Armor
WallAbsoluteDestroyer=yes	Instant destruction, regardless of the damage dealt

Combinations of these flags results in the most inclusive case.

Remap Bug

Although wall overlay can use remap, such overlay are always rendered in the house color of the current player instead of using the color of the wall’s actual owner. For Yuri's Revenge, this is fixed in Ares version 0.2.

Warheads

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

This flag determines whether or not a warhead can inflict damage on overlay objects with Wall=yes^↑ as well as bridges (provided that [SpecialFlags]→DestroyableBridges=yes) and ice.
