| Flag: | MindControl |
| File(s): | Rules(md).ini |
| Values: | boolean (yes/no or true/false) |
| Default: | no |
| Applicable to: | Warheads |
If set, this warhead will mind-control the target instead of inflicting damage. The effect is instant, and ignores whether the weapon actually hit the target or not. Object that has ImmuneToPsionics=yes are completely immune, and cannot be targeted.
The owner can only target and control one object at a time, and will lose control over the first target if it fires on a second one.
In Yuri's Revenge
The Damage value of the weapon defines how many objects total can be controlled by the firer. Values greater than 1 prevent previously established mind-control links from being lost. Because of that, after reaching the limit, no new object can be controlled until at least one of the old ones is destroyed.
Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations
The game only checks the Primary weapon for how many units can be controlled (setting MindControl=yes on a Secondary weapon causes an Internal Error). ElitePrimary isn't checked at all.
