*clears throat* sorry about that.
I've released an update to the scripts. You can get them from the usual
place, from Ian's map packs page:
http://www.blindaudiogames.com/home/mappacks
Now, what's in these here scripts that would cause such a Scorpion like
outburst? Well, it's an implementation of moving other units! This
script allows you to move targets either towards or away from a skill
user. So, whether you've got black holes sucking in ships or shotguns
throwing people back through the air, this should add a new dimention
to it all. Not to mention strategy, if you have damaging tiles about.
This feature is new, so there might be the odd issue. Please let me
know if you find any and give me whatever details you can so I can fix
them.
But wait, wait... there's more! Well, Mostly fixes actually.
* I've added an announce_transport_capacity function that can be bound
to a shortcut key that will announce the unit's current and maximum
capacity in a format of your choice.
* I'm now using Ian's GetName function for units when you use the
message argument, so now it will stop automatically using good and evil
and actually use the real team name.
* There is now a KeepPoints argument for transforming and reverting
units, so you can choose whether to keep the points of the old unit or
start with a fresh set, it's false by default so it shouldn't effect
existing uses.
* I've also fixed the message {0} parameter when using change_unit_type
on after_death.
I think that's all. I hope you like the new and improved scripts!
