| Applicable to: | Warheads |
Template:TTL is used on a Warhead to specify the animation to play when an InfantryType is killed by it.
There are two exceptions:
- If the killed InfantryType has Template:TTL set, it will always use Template:TTL sub-sequences instead.
- If it has animations specified by Template:TTL, these will override all other death animations.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations
#8
InfDeath 8 (Virus death) assumes the animation for it has a Template:TTL set and will always try to spawn a particle - you can't make it skip this part. SpawnsParticle has a volatile default value, which means forgetting to set it to a valid particle on this animation will cause an IE or erratic behaviour.
Additionally, inflicting this on a Template:TTL (this effect does happen even though NotHuman should prevent it) or an airborne object spawns just one particle from SpawnsParticle, as opposed to normal behaviour (which is to spawn Template:TTL).
#9
InfDeath 9 (Genetic Mutator death) is hardcoded not to deal any damage to infantry that are not firmly on the ground (paratroopers), as well as not to play its animation if affecting an airborne object. In these cases, for lethal shots (which don't really happen given that damage isn't dealt, but that's how the game is coded) sub-sequence Die2 is forced instead.
All spawn-capable except #9
These animations do not remap to firing player colours, only #9 does.
Spawning
In Yuri's Revenge, these death animations can be made to spawn a player-owned InfantryType via the MakeInfantry logic:
- Template:TTL, InfantryVirus, can be displayed in the unit palette if Template:TTL, however remappable colors will not acquire the correct player colour.
- Template:TTL, InfantryMutate, is hardcoded to use the unit palette and will be remapped to the correct player colour.
All other Template:TTL animations, besides those that are part of an infantry Template:TTL, can be made to spawn a neutral-owned InfantryType. These can be displayed in the unit palette if Template:TTL, however remappable colors will not acquire the correct player colour.
