Forwarding Tags, Fields, Names.

I'm being lazy today and just don't want to do a search. Could someone tell me the proper scripting commands for forwarding tags, and if I can forward the fields of a thing (assuming it is part of the same kind of thing, i.e. Special forwarded to a new Special, and so forth). Not sure I can forward fields, but is there a way to get the fields from one thing to another of the same thing? Lastly, does anyone know all the string scripting commands? I may need them, but hopefully not (since they tend to use up more resources), but just in case, I'd like to know what they are. Thanks in advance.

I'm planning on tackling the change shape abilities and trying to come up with a standardized version. It may not work, but I want to give it a try at the very least. Those rules are all over the place, with all the changes made to it, but I think I have them all lassoed.

forward[GroupID.TagID] forwards it to the container (usually the hero)
pushtags[Same] pushes tags from the current thing to the context you transitioned to
pulltags[Same] pulls tags from the current context to this thing

You can't forward field values, but if you can transition to the correct thing you can have the field on your current thing overwrite that value with its own. Like so:

TRANSITION.field[xValue].value = field[xValue].value

For strings, this page may help.

Thanks Aaron. This is going to take some work, and this information will be a big help as I won't have to keep looking for this information when I need it. I'm going to be trying your blank template idea, and filling it with the appropriate tags and field values. Wish me luck!
 
Got another one for you. Is there any way to gain access to the scripts on a thing? I mean, they are just text fields so to speak, is there a way to get at them? I'm doubting it, but I thought I would ask in case. I realized in the process of doing this that I may not be able to get them copied over, and since I can't, it really doesn't matter how I copy over the specials. I have a good idea how to do it simply without much complication, but I'm not there yet. Want to know about the scripts first.
 
I don't think there is any way to look at what is happening in an eval script from outside that script, except by judging the effects after the script has run, sorry.
 
Expected as much, just thought I would ask to make sure I covered my bases. Time for plan B (which, as it turns out, might be a better solution).
