How To Drag an Unit With the Missile Smoothly and With Friction

Title says all.

If you know the missile speed from the object editor this shouldn't be too much of an issue. Any knockback system would work.

I have a bit of an issue with the spell that I am making. The missile would run past the unit without dragging it longer. What speed would you recommend for the Knockback speed so that this does not happen?

Any speed will work as long as you make sure to always drag the unit. If the missile is moved very fast you might need to use a big area search with a rectangle filter or multiple smaller area searches so that the searched area is continuous.

I would recommend latching units to the missile while they are being dragged as that avoids any "physical annoyances" that can occur with continuous application. An example of a physical annoyance could be a unit on unit collision knocking out the missile area and so stopping the drag.

You can make it based on how many units its dragging.

For example if it drags one unit, its speed would be faster rather than dragging five.

Like "Every Number of Units * 0.1 seconds"

Also you can check how far the unit is from the missile. If its more than X range, let's say 300 it will be dragged slower. The more its pulled towards the missile, the faster it gets.

Just my two cents on the matter.
