| Flag: | Artillary |

| Values: | Boolean values: yes or no, true or false, 1 or 0 |
| Default: | 0 |
| Applicable to: | BuildingTypes |
This flag acts similar to TickTank and IsJuggernaut as they control the direction a unit will turn to before deploying into a structure. When enabled on a BuildingType, any unit that deploys into said building will turn to face the Nort-East direction before deploying.
Note: This tag is valid despite the spelling error. Using 'Artillery' instead of 'Artillary' will not work.
Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations
In Tiberian Sun and Firestorm, there is a sequencing bug here which can cause graphical discrepancies when the unit is undeploying from structure form back to vehicle form:
- step 1: the undeploy anim plays (i.e. the deploying anim but in reverse) until it is done
- step 2: the base structure are is shown again
- step 3: the building turret returns to its neutral position (pointing top-right by default); for a low ROT, this could take a while
- step 4: the structure object turns into an unit object
In Tiberian Sun this is particularly visible on the Nod Artillery unit when it undeploys:
- the undeploy anim will play, where the Artillery piece pulls the outrigger legs back into its body
- it then reverts to the normal "deployed artillery" structure image - which shows the outrigger legs back out again - while the turret turns back to its neutral orientation
- ...and then only does it turn into a vehicle.
