Spoiler: screenshot: debug messages with notes

No debug message appears when unloading the hero from a transport/boat.

Check to see how Bribe handled it in his GUI Events system.

But one solution that comes to mind is to detect when a Lethal damage event occurs, mark the "dying" hero for a moment, and check for this marking when the undefend Order is issued. If it's unmarked then you know it didn't actually die and the Order is from something unrelated.

Ideally there's a Condition that solves it.

Adding this seems to work. But, another problem, ankhs seem to not work for amphibious units.
