[krisserz]

What exactly is not working?

P.S. Don`t use

• Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time

Coz it can cause lags. Use

• Time - Every 0.02 seconds of game time

or

• Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time

There is no difference between this two.

 

[dardas]

each time i use the spell. the units doesnt move..

 

[krisserz]

Coz you move them here

• Set Kaiten_Caster_Point = (Position of Kaiten_Caster)

• Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (Kaiten_Caster_Point offset by 15.00 towards 30.00 degrees)

 

[dardas]

well.. whats the diffrence?
in my first knockback
i used same idea.. and it worked..
but i just didnt use picked unit
i used that the targeted unit of ability behind cast will:

• Psychic Knockback
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.02 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Move temp_unit_target instantly to (temp_point offset by ((Distance between temp_point and (Position of temp_unit_target)) + 15.00) towards (Angle from temp_point to (Position of temp_unit_target)) degrees)
    • Wait 0.02 game-time seconds
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of temp_unit_target) using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl

and to cheak when cast:

• Psychic Strike
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Knockback
  • Actions
    • Set temp_unit = (Casting unit)
    • Set temp_unit_target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set temp_point = (Position of temp_unit)
    • Set temp_real = (Facing of temp_unit)
    • Unit - Make temp_unit Invulnerable
    • Trigger - Turn on Psychic Knockback <gen>
    • Wait 1.00 game-time seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Psychic Knockback <gen>
    • Unit - Move temp_unit instantly to ((Position of temp_unit_target) offset by 80.00 towards temp_real degrees)
    • Set temp_point = (Position of temp_unit)
    • Wait 0.20 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Make temp_unit face temp_unit_target over 0.50 seconds
    • Wait 0.50 game-time seconds
    • Animation - Play temp_unit's attack animation
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of temp_unit_target) using Objects\Spawnmodels\NightElf\NECancelDeath\NECancelDeath.mdl
    • Set temp_effect = (Last created special effect)
    • Special Effect - Destroy temp_effect
    • Trigger - Turn on Psychic Knockback <gen>
    • Wait 1.00 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Make temp_unit Vulnerable
    • Trigger - Turn off Psychic Knockback <gen>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)
    • Custom script: set udg_temp_unit = null

 

[krisserz]

You created knockback by your own or used somebody`s else?

 

[dardas]

my own.. (but the one i mentioned in my replay is half made of my friend..)

 

[dansaDisco]

You're not adding any unit to the Kaiten_Group. That's your problem.

You need to move this:

• Set Kaiten_Group = (Units within 700.00 of Kaiten_Caster_Point)

to Kaiten Cast trigger.

And why do you have this?

• Unit - Make Kaiten_Rotation_Unit face (Random angle) over 0.00 seconds

 

[krisserz]

Ahh yes you set that group at elapsed game time. It should go to when unit casts spell.

 

[dardas]

ohh ty.. yea i got it now xD
edit:
works thanks. and the face rotation thing is just to make it like spin..

 

[Element of Water]

Just one problem - you have appalling leaks.

 

[dardas]

well.. it was just a spell for test, i made a new one, with the working knockback, and fixed leaks there..

 

[crl]

instead of:

• Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (Kaiten_Caster_Point offset by 15.00 towards 30.00 degrees)

you might want to use

• Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ((Position of (Picked Unit)) offset by 15.00 towards 30.00 degrees)
