Maybe you can try the transform_into script flag from craig.
With friendly name I think even the nit can seem to be the same, or so my
theory goes.
The beauty of this is that the new unit could have whatever new terrain
limits etc needed. It could have the flying flag already there without
resorting to an effect.
Just a thought. Hope that is helpful in some way.

I've just been meaning to mention that in reference to my original problem,
namely getting a particular unit to fly despite an altered terrain_limit in
their file. I can block/allow them just fine-it's when I try to make them
fly that's the problem. Removing the altered terrain_limits isn't an option
I'm willing to take, though.

Or is that not what you're looking for here?

I would assume that any terrains the unit couldn't normally pass over
with
the not_affect_flying flag should be flyable if the right effect is
flyregardless of established terrain limits. This unit is human, but can
breathe under water, so doesn't need a ford or the like to cross
rivers/lakes/sections of ocean. She would need to be able to follow her
companions if they flew over cliffs/mountains, however.

How would that even work, though?
I'm not sure how flying is supposed to work with terrain limits. Which
takes precedence?
Maybe I need to think about this...

Hi,
Yes, you'll have to add the mountains into the list of terrain
ian-reeds-games-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subjectyour unit can pass.

Hi again,
Another thing I've noticed. I have a unit who can swim, meaning I
had
to
write up a special terrain_limit list for her that included any
bodies
of
water most units couldn't cross normally. The problem is, when I
gave
her
the ability to fly, she couldn't move up onto the mountains I had
in
my
test
map like the other flying units could. I'm guessing this is to do
with
the
altered terrain_limit flag, but I can't take that ability of hers
away
because that's part of what makes the Water-Chosen special.
