In the creation of custom elements, it would be helpful/cool to have a "Push [Direction] [Staff/Caber]" command, which, of course, pushes in one of the 8 directions from the commanded character as if by a staff or by a caber (or possibly by neither, which would only behave as if a body were pushing and only hit mirror/powderkeg equivalents). Ideally this command would be instantaneous (not take up the turn it's used in) so that a single object could push in all 8 directions at once, for example.

A simple example of a custom element this command would allow one to make is a "repulsor", a wall-like block that pushes things away from it every turn, or every [so many] turns. Another trap to add to the repertoire of things Beethro can use to kill roaches while unarmed, if it uses the [Caber] version of push.

This is similar to the Push At request. However, both would be useful, since this one is simpler.

Yeah, push at would actually probably be even better. It would allow very easy creation of a "conveyor belt" that "instantly" moves things along it to the end with just one active entity (and maybe a bunch of ghost-type entities to act as the conveyor belt's graphics).
