I guess it is the thought that counts. Anyone with Fear can see these when they open the template tags. The latest are on the Patch 1.7 Templates addon plugin, but Fear can't read addons like the one in 1.7. You would need to untag them into the local folder for Fear to read the latest. Though there really is no reason to look at these in Fear since you can only use them in Loathing (which does load addons).

Movement
optional flag prta / Preserve Target Flag / Preserves the target

This was always my favorite description. In many years, I still haven't figured out what they're talking about, because the description gives me absolutely no information other than what's already in the name of the flag. Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Does anyone know what this does? What is the target in question, and why is this flag useful?

Does anyone know what this does? What is the target in question, and why is this flag useful?

It doesn't appear to be valid in the context of a scripted-action. The flag is handled in the same code that handles all movement, which includes moving toward a targeted unit (to attack/heal etc.). If the preserves-target flag is present then the unit will keep re-evaluating its way-point as the target moves, otherwise it just sticks with the way-point it already has.

The effect is that a monster with preserves target would move towards where a target is while one without will move to where a target was.

Of course this is useless for scripted actions, as its not possible to specify a monster that you wish to move toward, only way-points. The only monster reference for a MOVE action is to allow you to turn to face a particular unit.

The flag is therefore only used internally, it's possible that with a MOVE action you could actually un-set a unit's preserve target flag (causing them to lose a moving target) but it could have any number of unforeseen consequences, so I would not recommend it at all.
