Knockback Spell

[Teaspoon]

Hello!
Does anyone know how to make an effect, so that when I use skill "X" on unit he gets pushed away in a straight direction?

 

[VergilThazaar]

Uhm did you Search before asking? What I found is this post and another one saying that this is best done in vJass.

 

[Teaspoon]

Yeah but the variables? I didn't really understand their values and types.

 

[VergilThazaar]

I would suggest contacting with the owner of the unit, (jeez too much wc3 >.>) *of the thread to see how he made it or with the guy that posted the answer, for further explanation. Unless you prefer waiting for a post here.

{EDIT}
What didn't you understand? Loc stands for Location (=Point), Real stands for itself (Real Number), Integer also stands for itself (Integer Number) and Effect stands for Special Effect.

That is a not so simple way around using a knockback trigger. If you want me to explain the variables presented and the rest of that crude mess just respond here again

^That's not so much of a knockback trigger, more like moveback trigger

It has lots of leaks and the IF/THEN/ELSE structure is unefficient. The even should be "starts the effect of an ability" since a unit can have casting time of over one second for example.

I recommend using Paladon's GUI Knockback System (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...7719/?prev=search=gui%20knockback&d=list&r=20)

I've used it extensively in my own map (see signature link) and it works very well, is smooth and professional. It's also nicely documented and easy to add to your own map, free of leaks and MUI (Multi-Unit Instanceable - in other words, lots of different knockbacks can happen at once and they'll all work fine).

Just download that file and read the triggers in the map. It's all very easily explained and simple to implement.
