WML Abilities
From The Battle for Wesnoth Wiki
Remember that you must include the WML ability code in every scenario where you intend them to work.
Knockback Template:DevFeature
When a unit is hit with a knockback attack, it is immediately pushed one hex away from the attacker, at which point the combat ends. Exception: units in villages can't be knocked out of them.
Examples that give knockback for every Drake Glider on their slam attack, and for the Shock Trooper named Jane:
{KNOCKBACK (type=Drake Glider) slam} {KNOCKBACK description=Jane mace}
