More information's always good!

Yes, I'm pretty sure I remember you mentioning this...
Oh, and another bug I've noticed.
I've got a revert skill.
skill

|flags
description Reverts a transformation.
self
remove_effects=shadow_king,invisible_necromancer,ethereal,werewolf,wereking
non-attacking_cost=1
|script_flags
I've tried it both with and without the revert transformation script
flag, and I have the same problem.
Basically, the skill is used by the AI once, and the transformation is
removed. The effect remains, however. The next turn, my unit is left
with no AP, so it can't perform actions, and enemy units won't attack
it. It's as though the unit is invisible to them, I swear.

I've had this happen too! Enemy sorcerer/ess casts a curse on the unit,

not
use more than one curse per round, as I would inevitably have
duplications.
When I first made my beast mage, he turned one of my units into a cow
twice,
and that was only because he had six actions and the curse used three.
This
happened even though I'd set the units_per_tile to 1.
I've seen other transformations in other maps work just fine, but that
was
in the stable release and only when the transformation involved a skill
used
only on the caster.

Hello,
I've noticed an odd bug with transformations. Not sure if I mentioned
this before, but here it goes again, if I have already done so.
So I've got this point.
point
10
|flags
description Disease.
hidden
at_zero=zombify
ordinal=1
And the effect that happens...
Effect
10 // parser version
|flags
description A unit becomes an evil zombie.
unit

hidden
duration=25
|script_flags
transform_team 2 // it would be awesome if I could cause the zombie to
turn onto the team that the biter is on though...
transform_into zombie
effects_on_fizzle death
I've noticed that when the zombies bring down my disease points,
sometimes my single unit will transform and then end up duplicating
into two or even three zombies on that tile. And my units_per_tile is
set to 1 on all my maps so far.
I rearranged things, so that I could try converting zombies myself
just to see what would happen, and I set up verbose so that I could
get more information. The duplication didn't happen when I controlled
the unit, but when I let the AI perform then it used the bite attack
to bring the disease points down, verbose said the warrior was
transformed by the effect, then my zombie changed things up and
started using attack for some reason (even though bite is first in the
skillset, and just saying, attack doesn't even mention disease
points), which, according to verbose, caused the warrior (who had
already been transformed into a zombie, dammit) to lose HP before
suddenly transforming...again, putting another zombie on the same tile
as the first. Then it used attack again, the warrior transformed, and
there was a third zombie. In total, I ended up with four enemy zombies
on that one tile before the AI stopped.
... Uuuuuuuuummmm, any ideas on what's going on here? This is crazy.
