I used it in age of warlords in the windwall skill.
Good eye Victorious!
Since the windwall is impassable after the initial cast, I am not sure if it
bounces units via the script or not. It would be interesting if it did.
Would make a great trap.

Hi Victorious,
Thanks :-) and I'll see if I can answer your questions.
Q1: Does units transforming into another still still make them lose their
eq?
A: I'm afraid so. I don't believe I have access to the unit's items in the
scripts, so I can't move them across from the old unit to the new one. If
that changes, I can fix that. Ian, if you're reading, can this be done?
Q2: I know that Alan has used the move other units scripts successfully on
tile effects - will they still work on those now? The helpfile specified
skills only.
A: I set it to skills only, since I wasn't aware of this. SO how was that
working? Was the effect on a tile and every time a unit walked onto that
tile they were being push away or something? The script shouldn't have
worked that way, but sounds like Allan at least had a use for it.
Q3: I saw a .md file in the documentation .zip, what does .md stand for?
A: .md files are markdown files. It's essentially a very light syntax that
you put in an otherwise plain text file. When this is then processed by
something that handles markdown, it makes a web page, such as the
readme.html file that's in there. If you open up the .md file in notepad,
you'll see it's almost plaintext with a few exceptions, particularly around
anywhere where there's lots of underscores, since they're a special
character in markdown. But most of it is just plain text. I can write HTML,
but Markdown's quicker. It's really good for writing documentation. Ian uses
them too for the game documentation, that's probably where you've seen them.
It's pretty neat.
