[Trigger] Backstab really easy method

[Graber]

• Event:
  • Unit - A unit is attacked
• Conditions:
  • Facing of the Attacker greater then 44 and Facing Of the Attacker less then 136
  • Facing of the Attacked greater then 44 and Facing Of the Attacked less then 136
• Actions:
  • What actions u like.

Note: I tryed it with chat message diddnt set the event to A unit is attacked but it works and is realy easy to make it.
Maybe the angle needs to be adjusted a little bit.

This method is too rigid and only works if the units are facing a certain angle. It would be better to find the angle difference.

Angle Formula is needed, seriously.

Seriously, learn the difference between "then" and "than"

The trigger won't work correctly for all cases, that's for sure.

Ive said is a really easy and fast method to make, and a fast and easy method may have bugs, but is better than nothing.

Ive said is a really easy and fast method to make, and a fast and easy method may have bugs, but is better than nothing.

But there are better methods than this which involves finding the difference of angles: Difference between angles Although your method may be fast and easy, it would be wiser to choose a method that works in all cases.

Example of a backstab condition using angle difference:

• (Acos((Cos(((Facing of (Triggering unit)) - (Facing of (Attacking unit))))))) Less than or equal to 90.00

90.0 is the value allowed for angle deviation. Lower values would make it harder to backstab.

well, we dont need easy things that are inefficient... what we need is a balance of efficiency and easiness...

Is this the whole thing or is more coz i used it and it didnt metter if i was attacking from the front or back, it was the same thing, why?

That's the whole thing.
90 was probably too big of a value. It would probably be better to use something smaller.
The facing of the attacking unit might also contribute to the problem since it takes time for the attacker to face the unit.

So where can i get a better backstab, frontstab, and also sidestab.
