Aha, thank you for explaining those!
I'm actually curious now if there are other flags that exist but
aren't in the map creation guide...because there's that inherits= one
that I was wondering about before, now the friendly_type= flag.
For the current_percent_inflict, would you please consider modifying
it for the next release so that you can put that down for items as
well?
This is related to the music changing...is it possible to create a
script allowing the music to change when you get to a certain terrain,
or area on the map? Or when a certain unit becomes visible to you? I
think it would be cool if when I reached a certain point in my first
level the music would change since there's a boss battle.
And this is non-script related. Is there a way to use a summon skill
and at the same time give the unit more hp than it would normally
have, or an effect that would cause it to die after a certain amount
of time? I tried playing around with it, but I haven't had any success
yet.
