In TS

Can be set to 'yes' or 'no'. An InfantryType with this and Infiltrate set to 'yes' gain the ability to enter enemy structures to various effects:

If an Agent enters a...

  • Building with Factory= set to any valid type, the cameo of whatever object the owning player is [[currently constructing will be displayed to the infiltrating player above the selected building whenever the infiltrated building is selected by the infiltrating player. The cameo will however be displayed in a wrong palette (building palette?).
  • Building with Radar set to 'yes', the infiltrating player will not only see all terrain the owner of the infiltrated building has yet discovered, but will also see all terrain that player discovers after his building was infiltrated.
  • Refinery - no effect (?)
  • Power Plant - no effect (?)
  • Tech Center - no effect (?)

In TS, this is only used on the Chameleon Spy, which is only available to the player in one single player mission in the unmodded game. in this mission, the flag does not show its entire potential, because the mission objective is the infiltration of only one structure. The effect of the flag is actually much more extensive and hints to a feature that the game designers possibly planned, but cut from the final game.

Note that this logic may cause IEs when an InfantryType is an Agent and Engineer, C4 bomber or Thief at the same time, though this needs further testing. Because of how the TS engine works, the Thief is the less likely to cause IEs in this respect (low parse_p, if I'm not mistaken).
