A CloakGenerator=yes structure grows its field out to this radius, one cell per game frame. A SensorArray=yes structure marks every cell closer than this radius as sensed, all in one frame. The value is stored in a single byte, so values above 127 wrap to negative numbers.
Every cloaking field is cut off at the edge of a square centered on its generator. The square’s side is the largest CloakRadiusInCells of any BuildingType plus sixteen cells, counting types that are neither generators nor arrays. So when no type sets more than the default, even a default 20-cell field is cut off. What a field covers gives the sizes. Sensor coverage is not cut off.
The same radius sizes the ellipse drawn on the tactical map for a selected cloak generator or sensor array whose type also sets HasRadialIndicator=yes. The ellipse appears only while that structure is switched on and its house is player-controlled.
