A building normally runs its turret animation and its ActiveAnimTwo at the same time. With TurretAnimIsExclusive=yes, it never runs both:

  • While its weapon is charging or holds a charge, the building shows its turret animation and stops ActiveAnimTwo.
  • At every other time it shows ActiveAnimTwo and no turret animation. This includes a building that has just been built, is being repaired or has just lost its target.

ActiveAnimTwo starts again as soon as the charge is spent.

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

Only a building whose primary weapon is Charges=yes ever charges. On any other building, this flag hides the turret animation permanently.
