[JASS] How to do knockback

[Dracula]

ive seen alot of example for knockback with jass, but i dont understand it, do you have to type every letter yourself or is there some kind of program, i have jasscraft and today is the first day ive opened it, i was never interested in learning jass, but gui is getting boring, how do i use those program?

Read some JASS tutorials to understand it more. JassCraft is great, but it doesn't add anything new, it's used for syntax highlighting and function list.

You type everyletter yourself actually

but there are many knockback functions that you can use with Copy And Paste
Silvenon has one that can be executed like
Custom script: call Knockback(<unit>,<direction>,<speed>,<boolean destroy trees ? true or false>) (I forgot if he included tree destroy range)

About JassCraft it can highlight texts, show you errors in code, shows you default game functions and checks for errors
(bah NewGen does all and +LOTS of things who needs JassCraft)

My suggestion about JassCraft: Click on JassCraft Directory and Press Shift-Delete

yes, i wanted to learn jass but never had the time for it, that knockback function, i would like to increase ability in doing that, but i still dont get how they work, GUI makes sense in a way but jass is like you have to remember everything.

Jass isn't much different than GUI. The major difference is that you need to know some basic scripting syntax. Otherwise if you think about it they are the same (they have to be since GUI is just Jass prettied-up in the trigger editor). Memorizing jass functions isn't hard since they have self-explanatory names like "GetTriggerUnit()" and "AddSpecialEffect()".

I added instructions for GUI users in my tut, so it should be easier to use now.......

Someone already made a Knockback function. It can do both AoE and single target (I used both in a map once) and it's fairly simple to use. Along the top of your Hive page, the thing that has like: Tools, Maps, Forums, Models, etc click the one that says JASS, it should be someone where the top (or it was last time I looked), and if You cant find it, search: Vilex's (or just Vile) Knockback and you should find it.

Nope, that one was on wc3sear.ch, not here (though I've never seen it, but that's the only reasonable explanation coming on my mind).

Ahem, has it ever slipped your mind that my knockback can also be used for AOE knockbacking?? Just pick units in AOE and knockback them one by one.

First: the knockback in the JASS section i was refering was made by you, I didn't look at who made the topic, BUT it is NOT the one I have.

I have Vilex's Knockback Spell, but the post doesn't seem to exist anymore.

I just checked the trigger, and it has this link in it: http://wc3jass.com/viewtopic.php?t=2336
