Logic related to IsVeinholeMonster, as a whole or in part, is obsolete in Red Alert 2 and/or Yuri's Revenge.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.
  • Frame 11 is played when the Veinhole is killed, at the end of the final attack sequence.

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