A CloakGenerator=yes structure hides its own house’s vehicles, infantry, aircraft and structures that stand in its field, unless something on the list of refusals applies. Allied objects in the field stay visible. CloakRadiusInCells sets how far the field reaches.

The field is up while the structure is operational. It grows outward by one cell of radius per game frame, and it collapses ring by ring when the structure is switched off, stunned, or stops being operational through a power shortfall. Except right after a capture, a Powered=yes generator also waits for its house to have full power before it raises or regrows its field. A generator whose type stays operational through a shortfall, such as one at Powered=no, keeps its field.

Destroying, selling or capturing the generator removes the whole field at once. A captured generator raises a new field for its new owner at once if it is operational, even while the new owner is short of power.

Cloaking fields covers what overlapping fields do to each other, the refreshes that follow a change, and the square edge that can cut a field short.
