*Default configuration of digital display using example shapes from [Phobos supplementaries](https://github.com/Phobos-developers/PhobosSupplementaries).*

- You can now configure various types of numerical counters to be displayed over Techno to represent its attributes, such as health points or shield points.
- `Anchor.Horizontal` and `Anchor.Vertical` set the anchor point from which the display is drawn (depending on `Align`) relative to unit's center/selection box. For buildings, `Anchor.Building` is used instead.
- `Anchor.Horizontal` and `Anchor.Vertical` set the anchor point from which the display is drawn (depending on `Align`) relative to unit's center/selection box. For buildings, `Anchor.Building` is used instead.
- `Offset` and `Offset.ShieldDelta` (the latter applied when a shield is active) can be used to further modify the position.
- By default, values are displayed in `current/maximum` format (i.e. 20/40). `HideMaxValue=yes` will make the counter show only the current value (i.e. 20). `Percentage=yes` changes the format to `percent%` (i.e. 50%).
- `CanSee` and `CanSee.Observer` can limit visibility to specific players.

- Default `Shape.Spacing` for buildings is `4,-2`, `4,0` for others.
- `ValueScaleDivisor` can be used to adjust scale of displayed values. Both the current & maximum value will be divided by the integer number given, if higher than 1.

- If a TechnoType has a DigitalDisplayType with `InfoType=Health`, it's allowed to display fake values to enemy players.
- `DigitalDisplay.Health.FakeStrength`, if set, will be used as the maximum value of health display. The current value will be displayed as the percentage of its current health multiplies the new maximum value.

I am not sure what is the use of this tag? IMO it makes sense to almost always have digital display to display the disguise target's strength.

This can be used in cases where you want to cheat your enemies. For example, there's a decoy type of units which only have half of the strength as the original one, so we can use this tag to fake it like the real ones.

Won't they just disguise as the main unit and automatically inherit it's display of strength?

Not sure if I explained clearly, but I meant something like Nod's Decoy Army in CnC3, which is unit with same appearance but weaker in order to confuse enemies and attract firepower. Disguise as main unit won't work for decoys of VehicleTypes, also using value instead of reading from another TechnoType allows more customization.

Yeah I understood that. IMO it's better to fix disguise logic to work with vehicles and ensure disguising can work for decoy purposes (I know for sure people already use it like this using Phobos logics). If that is done, I feel like there would be no use case for such tag.

If I recall correctly, @Otamaa has vehicle disguising fixed in his fork.

- `DigitalDisplay.Health.FakeAtDisguise`, if set to true on an InfantryType with Disguise, will use the disguised TechnoType's `Strength` value as the maximum value of health display. The current value will be displayed as the percentage of its current health multiplies the new maximum value. This will be applied before `DigitalDisplay.Health.FakeStrength`.
