[Trigger] Knockback into 1 point [Hashtable]

[M_Vegeta]

HI all, I am making aspell called Black Hole : the spell create a black hole (^^)
than all ennemy get knockback to the black hole middle point, when units reach a certain point units get hide until the spell finish and explode . After the unit gets unhide & damaged and spell is end

my spell isnt finish yet : if i posted if was for the knockback : UNit doesnt stop in the middle they continu until the spell end. All picked unit Should KNockback to the Target Point and stay to it until the spell end

unless of knoackback aoe im doing the reverse of it but its doesnt work :/

here is my code : any suggestion regards the whole code is appreciated as long it's well explained, Plz remember im french so my english Failed lol , Tryng to getting better but its not all ........ Anyway

any idea how i can make the knockback to 1 point and keep unit on this point O_O

Can you post the map? Use debugging messages, Game - Display Message.

The knockback speed is 25, and you check whether the distance is less than 10 or not. The distance can jump from 12 to 13, never being under 10. So that 10 is too small number. Make it at least (knockback speed / 2) + 1.

• (Distance between Position_Picked and KnockBackPoint[5]) Less than or equal to 50.00

^That will always be true if it goes to the else, no need for that.

here is the map

Don't remove knockbackpoint[2] in the first trigger.

 

[M_Vegeta]

Don't remove knockbackpoint[2] in the first trigger.

omg it work :O but i added some line to save and load current angle so its go all in middle

 

[baassee]

Else you just set the offset point always with the angle TOWARDS "THE CASTING POINT" This way they will stop in the middle, stuck ofc but still they wont move to the other side

 

[Maker]

^That would look funny with high knockback speed

heh
