Flag: OccupyPip
File(s): rules(md).ini
Values: Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: hardcoded values)
Default: persongreen
Applicable to: InfantryTypes


This flag specifies the graphical representation to use for an infantry garrisoned within a building with CanBeOccupied=yes and MaxNumberOccupants set to a positive integer greater than 0. These types of special graphics are referred to as "pips".

Each value for OccupyPip denotes a specific frame of pips.shp to use for the pip of a garrisoned infantry. Each infantry will only take up one occupant slot regardless of its Size.

Accepted values

See Pip for a list of accepted values. Usually, only the ones starting with person are used for the occupy pip.

Hardcoded in Red Alert 2

This needs testing
The following section contains information that has not been personally confirmed by the revision's author; readers are encouraged to test it themselves and update the section accordingly.


Red Alert 2 without the Yuri's Revenge expansion does not have OccupyPip as an infantry-specific control on this pip display. Instead, players controlling any country listed under GDI1 are hardcoded to use the eleventh frame of pips.shp for garrisoned infantry. Nod1 countries use the tenth frame instead. All other countries use the ninth frame.

Pips representing infantry in other applications

  • The pip graphic to use for an infantry loaded into a building with PipScale=passengers, InfantryAbsorb=yes, and Passengers and SizeLimit each set to positive integers greater than or equal to the Size of the infantry, is always the fourth frame of pips.shp. Each infantry will only take up one "passenger" slot regardless of its Size.
  • The pip graphic to use for an infantry loaded into a vehicle with PipScale=passengers, and Passengers and SizeLimit each set to positive integers greater than or equal to the Size of the infantry, is specified by Pip.

Notes

1 Note that "GDI" and "Nod" are residual from the Tiberian Sun engine and are treated as the Allied and Soviet sides respectively in Red Alert 2.
