[Trigger] Knockback System

[Saverous]

Ok the first thing you are thinking is about:
Go and and look up Paladon's knockback system, or
Search it up on the forums.

BUT I DID BOTH OF THEM.
First off, when i went to paladons knockback system thread, it said resource unavaliable, i don't know if that just happened to me so i couldn't read it, after searching up "Knockback" on the forums, i looked in some threads and tested their triggers but it still doesn't work for my spell:
My custom spell is Crushing wave but it is based off shockwave to prevent the graphical deformation, and i can't seem to find anything wrong with my trigger:

• Events:
• Unit - A unit begins casting an ability
• Conditions:
• (Ability being cast) Equal to Crushing Wave
• Actions:
• Set Caster = (Casting Unit)
• Set CasterPosition = (Position of Caster)
• Set TargetPoint = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
• Set Distance = (Distance between CasterPosition and TargetPoint)
• Set Angle = (Angle from CasterPosition to TargetPoint)
• Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
• Trigger- Turn on KnockbackINIT

I'm currently stuck on what code i should enter for "KnockbackINIT", i've tried using other people's templates but all it seems to do is pull the target towards me.

Don't use Paladon's System.
I repeat : " DONT USE IT"
The reason is because it destroys any destructables, ANY DESTRUCTABLES.
It is considered one of the most unsafe Knockback systems.

If you want a much better system,try the link i gave to you.
In my system, you just need to fill up the variables and run the system.

About your problem above,i think you don't need to code a knockback init.

 

[Saverous]

Ah Mah Gawd. I think you fried my brains, so, what part should i implement or change to make the knock back ONLY trigger when a certain spell is casted (Just wanted to make sure before i change something and destroy the whole thing?

 

[Almia]

Just use my system so that you will have a safe knockback.
If you tried Paladon's,it not just destroy trees, but also bridges,gates,structures,volcano etc.
Mine outdoes it.My system has smart pathing, destroy-tree friendly and easy use.

 

[Saverous]

it doesn't work.... how do i customize it to trigger when a specific spell is cast? The example shows that it works but when i trigger the events to:
Events:
Unit - begins the effect of a ability.
conditions:
Ability being cast equals XXX

 

[Almia]

Have you tried to follow the Example?
Also attach the map so that i can fix it.

 

[Saverous]

wait a minute, so you mean i only had to use the example? i'm not quite sure what you mean.

 

[Almia]

No, follow how the Example works.
Just attach the map so that i can fix it for you

 

[Saverous]

Ok heres the map,
Forgive its crappiness because i'm working with my friend and he made me make a knockback for him for 10 bucks. His the project manager and he sucks at all of this, You'll find the trigger tucked away nicely in the messy lines of code my friend has typed in.
Also, when i implement it, the trigger just knockbacks the caster of the ability, i've tried to change the things around but it stil dosen't work.

Enjoy reading a bunch of crap in this map.

 

[Almia]

ill fix it as soon as i can get to my other pc,which is few blocks far away from my home( i have 3 houses)

 

[Saverous]

woah 3 houses, ok then

Even that some consider Paladon's system unsafe meaby you are willing to at least check that GUI system - just to learn something new.

All credits goes to Paladon for one of oldest GUI systems =)

 

[Saverous]

ok thanks, i'll have a look, i couldn't earlier cause it was like depricated resourece or something like that.

EDIT: sorry to say Almia, but paladon's system works for my spell.

 

[Almia]

Just warning.
If the destroy trees is still unfixed in that system,you are doomed.

 

[Saverous]

ok thanks for the tip.
