IdleRate

Flag:	IdleRate
File(s):	rules(md).ini.
Values:	integer
Default:	0
Applicable to:	InfantryTypes ,VehicleTypes ,AircraftTypes

Specifies the animation rate for idle/non-moving units and defines after how many frames the animation advances to the next frame. Larger values mean slower playback. A value of 0 disables idle animation playback. Can be specified for both SHP based and voxel based units.
The animation does not play in case the unit is warping in from a chrono-move or being warped out by Temporal weapons, or when attacked by IsLocomotor weapons.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations

• IfIdleRate=>0(greater than 0 ) will affect the DisguiseWhenStill=yes tag, causing the image in the DefaultMirageDisguises section to change according to the value set in the IdleRate tag.
  
  
• IfIdleRate=>0(greater than 0 ) sound from MoveSound tag of InfantryTypes+VehicleTypes+AircraftTypes will be played according to the sound type assignment.
  

If it were a sound that played continuously without end(loop), even if InfantryTypes+VehicleTypes+AircraftTypes isn't moving, The sound will always be played.(equivalent to AmbientSound)
If it is the sound is normal Will play 1 time only. (equivalent to CreateSound)

Note

• The IdleRate tag doesn't produce the same results as the IdleActionFrequency tag (unfortunately Westwood didn't think of this).
