How to add 'cover' with an object?

[GottaLove88s]

TERRAIN.TXT includes a COVERFLAGS value, which determines whether units can hide in that class of terrain, eg buildings.

OBJECTS.TXT links back to TERRAIN.TXT, so a [Bsteeple] will be defined as BLOCKING and TERRAIN Building.

But is it possible to modify OBJECTS.TXT directly, so that adding an object to a tile will not change the underlying terrain, eg. Open Ground, Rough Ground, etc, but could still add a COVERFLAGS 1 while the object is present?

I don't think so, as the cover state comes from terrain IIRC.
