Knockback spell problem - It only works once.

[Cobalt]

Hello. I'm working on a map project and I want one of the heroes to have a knockback spell, and it works fine once but after the first use it doesn't work properly, because the target isn't knocked back at all. I'm using Bribe's GUI friendly damage detection system. Thank you in advance for any help.

Here are the triggers:

Cast

• Powershot
  • Events
    • Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00

  • Actions
    • -------- Set values for knockback trigger --------
    • Set powerShotDistance = (300.00 x 0.04)
    • Set powershotCastLoc = (Position of DamageEventSource)
    • Set powershotLoc = (Position of DamageEventTarget)
    • Set powershotAngle = (Angle from powershotCastLoc to powershotLoc)
    • Set powershotTime = 1.00

    • Set tempReal = (Real((Agility of rangerGeneral (Include bonuses))))
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer(tempReal)))) at powershotLoc with Z offset 0.00, using font size 8.00, color (100.00%, 1.00%, 1.00%), and 0.00% transparency

For the Cast trigger, add an If-Then-Else statement after adding the unit to the group which checks if there is only one unit in the group. If so, turn on the Loop trigger.

For the Loop trigger, instead of destroying the group when it's empty, turn off the trigger. In this case, you don't need to destroy the group because it will be constantly used. You would need to have the checkbox "Initially On" unchecked for this trigger as well.

        • (Number of units in powershotGroup) Equal to 0
