Hi Craig, Wow thanks for the correction. When you mention inventory, does it include currently worn items as well?

I remember talking to someone about that before. I believe that happened before I even came onto being a dev on TB. Ian told me to try using unit.Inventory. Though I have just noticed that it's not in the scripting documentation, so I'll fix that. Transformations will carry over any items in the unit's inventory to the new unit. So, if your old unit has a sword and so does your new one, the new unit will have two swords. This is by design though, as there's nothing to tell me that you want to lose this item. Take the example where you have a unit who has 5 healing potions. It then transforms into a unit with 2 healing potions to start with. You don't want to lose 3 healing potions just because you've transformed. That's why it works the way it does. As for that message you're getting if a unit has no items, I can't replicate it. Are you sure you're using the latest version of my scripts? I've looked through my transformation item moving function and there's nothing there that should raise any objections if there's no items. And did you say you'd equipped a unit? That shouldn't be possible. On 15/03/2015 03:01, Monkey wrote: > Ah well.
