Oh, so it's not me then. I am sorry I must have missed the email where you
mentioned this, or maybe I forgot. Thanks for explaining it though.

Hi Al,
I noticed that reverting effects was broken and put in a fix of sorts for
it. It'll come out when I finish making the scripts work as flags, and that
to some extent requires a bit of help from Ian, as I'm having a few issues.
I mentioned it when you guys were asking if you could cloak units and I gave
it a go.
So all being well, it should be fixed soon. There's no function for
scripters to get at the effects on a unit as far as I saw, so copying over
all the effects to the transformed unit is not possible. So instead I'm just
reapplying the effect. A sticky plaster, perhaps, but it worked.
Hope this explains it a little.
