The knockback system by bribe no longer functions despite being the most impressive one with all of the features I would want. Updates seem to have killed it.

Which knockback systems are recommended, both in general and strictly for ones that can be called by GUI? I see many of them but they're all rejected.

My current GUI knockback system seems to consistently decrease my game's FPS by 15 or so.

  • Knockback Call
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • KnockbackCall_Dist Less than 0.00
        • Then - Actions
          • Set VariableSet KnockbackCall_Dist = 0.00
        • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • KnockbackCall_Dur Less than 0.00
        • Then - Actions
          • Set VariableSet KnockbackCall_Dur = 0.00
        • Else - Actions
      • Set VariableSet KnockbackSys_Index = (KnockbackSys_Index + 1)
      • Set VariableSet KnockbackSys_Unit[KnockbackSys_Index] = KnockbackCall_Unit

Knockback 2.5D breaks with larger maps so if you recently increased the playable map size its possible it started malfunctioning then. Read the changelog or latest posts for fix.

Regarding the system you posted I didnt look at it all but a special effect is created every period but every third or fourth period should probably be enough and Matching unit is being used incorrectly.

Editing the knockback 2.5D map whatsoever breaks it, even within the test map posted. There are many comments in the thread with people who have had similar experiences.

Not sure about that, I just used the system on the latest patch in here:

[Script] - Shield ability

Greetings everyone! I would be very glad if you did spell : Works like On/off, similar like immolate. When on, every ally unit and caster(300AOE) recieve shield which blocks % of recieved damage and when this unit(s) have attacked, it have 15% to knockback(50-100 range, prob. random range)...

I applied the fix suggested in some of the latest posts as well. Seems to work fine, although I'm using a rather basic knockback.

Perhaps it's related to your version of the map or Warcraft 3.
