Specification

Applies to: TerrainType
File: rules.ini
Section: [<ObjectType ID>]
Value: boolean
When omitted: no

[VEINTREE] ; the TerrainType named by [General] VeinholeTypeClass
Name=Veinhole Tree
Strength=1000
IsVeinhole=true

A veinhole monster is not a Techno object, so the object picker admits it only through this flag: a click over the monster lands on it rather than passing to the ground beneath. Setting the flag also rewrites two of the type’s own settings once its section has been read — the type stops being sentient and becomes a legal target, overriding LegalTarget=no in the same section.

The flag does not select which type a monster is built from; VeinholeTypeClass does that, and it is read whether or not the named type carries this flag.
