[CF-Devel] object movers

[Peter Mardahl]

I think your proposed generalization makes 
a great deal of sense.  You need one more flag:
8  --  paralyze living objects so they MUST move
       as directed

Are you going to code this?

      I was looking at the player movers (which are famous for the dancing

      This could be used in a variety of ways.  I have one in mind, obviously,

      but I'm sure that there are other possibilities.  (For example, the

      wash away.)

      Or perhaps the existing movers should be adjusted to be more generic (with

      an update to all the maps, easily done with awk):

      It would take one more parameter to determine if the slaying can be fuzzy
