sleeping gryphon ambush: is this a bug?
ranger moves next to sleeping gryphon on "gryphon mountain", HttT. Ranger is attacked by awake gryphon, sleeping gryphon also attacks without waking up, misses ranger but takes damage. Sharpshooter attacks sleeping gryphon, gryhon wakes up and recovers all damage
This will be easy for Shade to fix ( 
). Just have, instead of killing the unit, it store the unit, change the type, and then unstore it.

I hate to make people cry :(
Since I hate to make people cry, and nobody needs the wrong kind of friction in their love life here's what I want to do:
Use store like Turin said so the HP change is preserved... Since it's a little unfair that the sleeping Gryphons 'bite' set their movement type to 'none' and give them a 10-1 attack (AKA- they wake up enough to attack once)... I'd also set the 'waking' gryphon's movement type to 'fly' with the riders modifications... Now since you get the jump on them I'd like to give them +5 HP, that and the fact they have a 'better' movement type for where they are will make them harder to deal with...
edit: since I'm touching units I should consult the list, even though they are 'special units'. I'll try to fix it for the next release.

Ok, after extensive testing
Ok, after extensive testing:
- Since 'attack' events are fire before a weapon is swung the kill event happens and you get the awake gryphon as soon as you attack.
- This makes the HP non-transference moot (new unit is spawned before the old even attacks).
-This also means that no matter what you do you seem to wind up attacking the Waking Gryphon.
-The only way to really make something like this work is with a 'post_attack' event.
-A 'post_attack' event would also be handy with Merle in the tutorial.
-I want a 'post_attack' event... Or an after_event=yes /no for most events (Think all of the events that work with a SUF).
I'll see if I can beg a C++ developer...

It's not really complicated
It's not really complicated per say... I was just silly and implemented the [store_unit] stuff then wondered why isn't this working? (Forgetting that the WML in an attack event gets processed before the attack happens) So there is little that can be sanely done to change the current behaviour...dibblethewrecker wrote:man - i never thought it would be that complicated!
How come no-one spotted it before? What triggered the sleeping gryphon attack anyway?
Looking at the WML attacking the sleeping Gryphon should be the only thing to wake it. The sleeping gryphon has a move of 1 and movement type of mounted. So so long as it's surrounded by anything mounted is slow on it shouldn't move. Albeit, I might put some modest changes into the Gryphons...
For those of you who are WML wonks you might want to voice your support for this:

Please repost that link when you aren't logged in, because I support a post_attack event fully.

Will it's on the radar now as soon as I figure out something decent to do about it I will.Note to forum users: You are in a maze of twisty little passages
what's wrong with turning him into a waking gryphon once you attack him, not once the attack is finished?
