A building normally runs its turret animation and its ActiveAnimTwo alongside each other. Set, the two never run together: the turret animation exists only while the weapon is charging or holding its charge, and ActiveAnimTwo is stopped for as long as it does and started again once the charge is spent. A building that is not charging shows ActiveAnimTwo and no turret animation at all, whether it has just been built, is being repaired, or has just lost its target.

TurretAnim=MYOBEL_C   ; an AnimType registered in [Animations]
TurretAnimIsExclusive=yes

Only a building whose primary weapon is Charges=yes ever reaches the charging or charged state, so on any other building the flag leaves the turret animation suppressed for good.
