Acceleration and Deceleration

[aple]

So, I actually made this before using Paladon's Knockback system. However, I can't seem to figure out now...

This is my trigger currently:

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) is A flying unit) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (X of Target Point = + (String((X of (Target point of issued order)))))
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Y of Target Point = + (String((Y of (Target point of issued order)))))
        • Set KBA_Caster = (Triggering unit)
        • Set KBA_DestroyTrees = False
        • Set KBA_DistancePerLevel = (Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Target point of issued order))
        • Set KBA_Level = 1
        • Set KBA_Speed = 15.00
        • Set KBA_StartingPosition = ((Target point of issued order) offset by ((Distance between (Target point of issued order) and (Position of (Triggering unit))) - ((Distance between (Target point of issued order) and (Position of (Triggering unit))) x 2.00)) towards (Angle from (Position of (TriggeringUnit))) x 2.00)) towards (Angle from (Position of (Triggering unit)) to (Target Point of Issued Order)
        • Set KBA_TargetUnit = (Triggering unit)
        • Trigger - Run Cast A Knockback <gen> (checking conditions)
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (X of Target Point = + (String((X of (Target point of issued order)))))
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Y of Target Point = + (String((Y of (Target point of issued order)))))
      • Else - Actions

The point of this is to get the target point of the order, and then get the complete-opposite point relative to the unit of that point. Like this:

And what this does is instead of knocking the unit away from the target point of the order, it knocks them toward it. But I can't seem to get the angle right. It's always off or sometimes goes in the complete-opposite direction of the target point.

Angle = (Angle from pos o' unit to target point) - 180

+180 degrees inverts the angle


e: Nvm myt already answered

        • Set KBA_Level = 1
        • Set KBA_Speed = 9.00
• Set KBA_StartingPosition = ((Target point of issued order) offset by ((...Distance....)) towards ((Angle from (Position of (Triggering unit)) to (Target point of issued order)) - 180.00) degrees)
  • Set KBA_TargetUnit = (Triggering unit)
  • Trigger - Run Cast A Knockback <gen> (checking conditions)
  • Else - Actions

I tried this and it still pushes the unit in the wrong direction. (+ or - results in the same thing.)

It should start from Position of Unit right? Remove leaks btw.

Okay, so this seems to work:

EDIT: Cleaned it up some.

• Set KBA_StartingPosition = (ACDC_UnitPoint offset by (ACDC_Distance - (ACDC_Distance x -2.00)) towards (ACDC_Angle - 180.00) degrees)

I'll do a few tests to fully make sure, though.

Also,

• Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

Why would that not be working?

EDIT2: The units effected by this trigger, when crossing very long distances, they overshoot the target-point by a lot.
