Hello,
As a project I've decided to try and create a new micro_ai.
I did have quite a bit of the logic below working using WML but my implementation was messy and inelegant, hence an attempt at a purely lua implementation.

Below is a breakdown of the proposed logic.

About the function.

I believe this is the code of the teleport tag.

Would anyone here be able to create a teleport code that could teleport more than one unit at the same time? Similar to the tag, where we can animate multiple units at once using .

Is it possible? :hmm:

Units that fly, according to flying = yes , should have a unit.flying variable.
For me, in this circumstance, it does not appear. The code below triggers with gryphons, bats, gliders.
And unit.flying never appears.
