TeslaCharge=TESLCHG ; a sound ID registered in SOUND.INI

The sound plays at a structure’s position each time the structure starts charging. A structure starts a charge when all of the following hold:

  • its primary weapon sets Charges=yes;
  • it is not building itself up or being sold;
  • it has a target;
  • its house has full power;
  • it is switched on;
  • it is not already charging or charged;
  • it has finished reloading;
  • one of its two weapons could fire at the target once turned toward it, which includes having the target in range.

A structure whose Ammo has run out still starts a charge and plays the sound when the rest holds.

Every charging structure plays the sound, whoever owns it. Its volume depends on its distance from the view, like any sound placed on the map.

A structure that is switched off or loses its target drops its charge without a sound. The next charge plays the sound again. Charges covers when firing spends the charge.
