Good question!

I think I knew the answer but I am no longer sure. It might have something to do with rendering order but don't quote me on that. Hopefully someone else will provide a more reliable answer

Answer here : https://kendras-sh3-modding.forumgam...ics-and-theory
Especially : https://kendras-sh3-modding.forumgam...and-theory#112


And IIRC, there is another value for an animated model...

Good to know

So that unlabeled value is related with impact/damage detection. Weird that it isn't stored in the .zon file though.

I've checked and indeed for an animated 3D model, such as a flag, the value must be 2.

Yes, now I remember. We dealt with this parameter when working on the DC-rack man animation, but its meaning is still a bit unclear to me. Do animations stop working if another setting is used?

All I can say is that the animation won't work with at least a certain setting (0 if I remember correctly). But it would be easy to test with other values (just change the value and see... ).

Ok. Curiously I have checked SH5's flag.dat, and the setting is 0, so whatever is the meaning of this parameter in SHIII, it doesn't seem to apply to the last game of the franchise

I'm just doing "reverse engineering". I don't have access to the source code, so I can't explain what's happening... Maybe it's just no more used in SH5, or the behaviour has changed partially...
