Apply Force on attack

[Muhahahahaaa]

hi

anyone figured out how to use force on attack? i simple want a unit to knock back if being attacked by a weapon.

i know how to do with abilities but somehow i cannot figure out how to in weapons. the weapon applies an effect on a unit (set effect to set several effects ) but if i create a periodic event the unit itself is the centre of the force.

You must not have the source and target for the effect set properly.

I once made a ghost shoot vortex (mothership ability) on every attack. Eveything from the pullin force to the units vanishing worked. Consider looking up how vortex applies the force and doing likewise.

"You must not have the source and target for the effect set properly."

how do you mean that? i mean what exactly shall i do there then...
----------------------------
my problem is, i need a point with offset in direction to the attacking unit where the centre of the force effect should be. or the centre itself is the attacking unit with huge radius BUT i have no clue how to apply an effect on the attacking unit itself + effect on the attacked unit on the same weapon. ( and the force effect applied on the attacking unit needs validating the attacked unit somehow...)
i found a solution with triggers but hell the data editor must be able to handle this.

I think Apply Force only works with a Create Persistent.

yes that's true
-----------------------

found the problem, somehow the unit's speed must be bigger than 0. should have used the behavior used in vortex sooner. thx for the help
