In {{ra2}} and  {{yr}}, every [[side]] has its own version of a building, plus some special ones. Due to the wacky way the game is coded, however, many of them have their {{TTL|Owner}} set to everything, and the AI isn't particularly known for adhering the {{tt|[[Prerequisite]]s}}. This, of course, would lead to the AI building every building of every side, without any order, which is most certainly not desired. To prevent this, the coders introduced {{tt|AIBasePlanningSide}}.
 
{{tt|AIBasePlanningSide}} assigns the building it is set on to one specific side's tech tree, which is then followed by the AI<!-- (in its ''base planning'' - get it?)-->.

AIBasePlanningSide must be set on all BuildingTypes for the AI to be able to use them correctly, only the Side it belongs to will build it.

In Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, every Side has its own version of a building, but due to the fact that every building has its Owner set to every House, and the AI tends to ignore Prerequisite values, it needs a simple method of controlling which faction builds which building.

Below is a table of acceptable values:

Parameter Side Selected
‐1 All sides
0 Allied (aka GDI)
1 Soviet (aka NOD)
2 YuriCountry (YR only)
3 Fourth Side (Requires engine extension)
... Etc..

Notes

On non-building TechnoTypes, this tag only influences the Cameo Sorting order.

AIBasePlanningSide affects the Stolen Tech Logic.
