Details:
There's a long-standing flaw in the Feeding ability (effectively described at
http://wiki.wesnoth.org/EventWML#A_Trap_for_the_Unwary) that recently got
upgraded to a core bug by the introduction of the Ghast. If more than one
different unit type with the Feeding ability from core are included in the
same scenario, the effective benefits of the ability are multiplied by the
number of unit types that are involved.
The simplest fix is to add the unit type to the macro, i.e.:
#define ABILITY_FEEDING TYPE
...
[filter_second]
ability=feeding
type={TYPE}
[/filter_second]
The Ghast and Necrophage would then need to have their {ABILITY_FEEDING} line
changed to {ABILITY_FEEDING (Ghast)} and {ABILITY_FEEDING (Necrophage),
respectively.
Ideally, this problem should be dealt with by a C++ fix, that is, adding an
"id" attribute to the [event] tag that works similarly to the "id" attribute
in [object]. This would fix all cases of the "trap," not just the
event-in-ability case.
