Defines whether or not this overlay is a veinhole monster. Veinhole monsters are a special type of overlay that carry several hardcoded features, including, but not limited to:
* Treated as a passive enemy; can be targeted and destroyed.
** Certain weapons such as [[IsSonic|sonic weapons]] cannot harm the veinhole monster
* Enables any attached [[IsVeins|veins]] to grow as specified by {{sl|General|VeinholeGrowthRate}}.
* If this veinhole is killed, any attached veins start to wither away, provided that the {{sl|General|VeinholeShrinkRate}} is ''lower'' (faster) than the growth rate.
* Ignores the {{f|Image|link}} flag, if specified.
* Uses a hardcoded animation sequence:
** Alternates between frames 0 and 3 as rest/idle states
** Randomly plays a short idle animation from frame 0 to 6, then cuts back to 0
** When attacked, plays a short animation from frame 7 to 10, spawns a [[particle]] of the {{tt|GasCloudM1}} type, reverses the animation, and cuts back to frame 0. This is repeated 2-3 times after every attack.
** Note that the 12th and last frame in the original [[SHP]] is in fact unused.
 
Interestingly, the {{f|Strength|link}}, {{f|Armor|link}} and actual growth/shrinking mechanic of veins is determined in a separate [[TerrainTypes|terrain type]] that has {{f|IsVeinhole|true|link}}.

Logic related to IsVeinholeMonster, as a whole or in part, is obsolete in Red Alert 2 and/or Yuri's Revenge.



Defines whether or not this overlay is a veinhole monster. Veinhole monsters are a special type of overlay that carry several hardcoded features, including, but not limited to:

  • Treated as a passive enemy; can be targeted and destroyed.
    • Certain weapons such as sonic weapons cannot harm the veinhole monster
  • Enables any attached veins to grow as specified by [General]→VeinholeGrowthRate=.
  • If this veinhole is killed, any attached veins start to wither away, provided that the [General]→VeinholeShrinkRate= is lower (faster) than the growth rate.
  • Ignores the Image flag, if specified.
  • Uses a hardcoded animation sequence:
    • Alternates between frames 0 and 3 as rest/idle states
    • Randomly plays a short idle animation from frame 0 to 6, then cuts back to 0
    • When attacked, plays a short animation from frame 7 to 10, spawns a particle of the GasCloudM1 type, reverses the animation, and cuts back to frame 0. This is repeated 2-3 times after every attack.
    • Note that the 12th and last frame in the original SHP is in fact unused.

Interestingly, the Strength, Armor and actual growth/shrinking mechanic of veins is determined in a separate terrain type that has IsVeinhole=true.
