On the topic of the AI.
Why does it try to use skills labeled "empty_tile" on occupied tiles?
Is it because I also have the flag "ai_tile_curse" set?
Oh, and I keep getting the "there is a bug in the artificial
intelligence. It was trying to perform move" message. Sometimes other
skills, but usually my move one. Still no idea as to what's causing
that.

Ah, OK. Thanks for clearing that up then!
And to bring up something that was mentioned by another user in the
past and that you may or may not have seen, would you be opposed to
adding a flag to make units immune to your move_other_unit scripts?
Personally I'm not in need of it *yet*, but others could be, judging
by the fact that it was brought up.

Ah right. Yeah it's an engine issue. If it's the one I'm thinking of.

I meant for script updates, oops. Not sure if the at_zero thing was a
script or engine issue, hence my question.

No. This feature was implemented and improved using script. It's not a
new version of TB.

This is the latest for everything, right? Like, the at_zero
transformation bug I brought up a while ago is fixed in this one too?

Okay, how's this?

Tl;Dr version of the change so you don't have to look at the docs.
|script_flags
transforms_into warrior/fire_mage
death_transformation zombie/skeleton
Let me know how it works for you guys.

Nah. You've already got an array of things there, the / separated
list
of strings. In this case, the array won't be any longer than it
needs
to be, so you can just pick a random number for the length of that
array.
Essentially, just like that function Monkey posted.

i guess i got it completely wrong and i am glad to hear that it is
not as complicated as i thought. i was thinking that you will need
to
take the number of effects in the flags and make it into a range
like
1r3, 1 being the firsteffect and 2 being the second effect and so
on
and taking that range and return it to shared calculate flag where
it
would pick a random number in the range and returning it back to
apply effect flag where it would be apply.

Computer? Derp, oops. Sorry about that.
And if the slashes are what's decided, I already modified your
randomSelectString for one of my scripts because the "|" would
have
looked a bit awkward...as I think we have discussed in the past.
function slashString(original) {
if (original.indexOf("/") == -1)
return original;
var choices = original.split('/');
var randomIndex = Math.round(Math.random() * (choices.length -
1));
var pick = choices[randomIndex];
return pick;
}
Not much of a change, of course. So credit still definitely goes
to
you.
Just so we both don't have the same thing with a different
function
name... It would be a bit pointless, aha.

It wouldn't be the AI choosing anything, it'd be the computer.
There's a
subtle difference. I'm not doing any funky business with a range,
though, that sounds like an unnecessary hassle.
Yeah, I could give that a look. I'd probably just extend the
existing
transforms_into scripts. If that's what you're thinking. Having
them
take random arguments would be easy. I'd probably have it so you
could do:
transforms_into cat/dog/bird
Or maybe
transforms_into cat|dog|bird
Both read alright to me and both mean randomly pick one, slash is
more
gramatically correct but computer speak wise, "|" means "or". Any
strong
preference?

Wait, what do you mean with range? I'm not sure we're on the
same
page
here.
My understanding is that you want the AI to choose a random
effect
from a list. That's simple enough to create.

i don't know how to achieve this so far what i learned is that
you will
need to sepperate each effects and then have each effects
hashed
as
integers for instence the first effect in the line would be 1
and
the
next would be 2 and so on and then take the integer values and
make it
into a range like 1r2 or 1r3 and etc then put it through the
shared
calculate flag to be calculated at which it would randomly pick
any
number in the range and then send it to shared apply effects
flag
and
have flags to apply this effect to either a unit and or tile
but
i could
be completely wrong about it, it seems to me that it should go.

A random effects script is very easy to do, I think. *shrug*

if that is so i guess i would try maybe having
transformations
on
different 0 duration effects a course this would require that
tb has
the
capability of having random effects flags, i am remembering
that it
was
mentioned a few months ago and maybe having it added on in
later
versions.

i wonder is it possible to have random unit type
transformations for
instence i have a curse that could turn a unit into a
random
creature
lets say i have cat, dog, and bird as the argument and when
i
have
it
cast on a unit the game engine will randomly selects one of
the unit
type i have placed in it and then turn that unit into the
randomly
selected unit type
