Ok now i need a formula for getting a number for something that is simmilar to a knockback,

Ok lets say you target a point, then you get the location and the distance between those two points. I need a unit to travel that location for over lets say over 2 secconds, but when it moves it starts fast and ends slow, it will loose ("example -0.03" but that dont need to be 0.03) every 0.01 secconds or so, maybe 0.02 or sum ( does not matter :>).

So if anyone have an idea, just post'em.

Thx

Δx = v_it + at²/2
or
v_f² - v_i² = 2aΔx
or
Δx = (v_i + v_f)t/2

Where v_f is final velocity
v_i is initial velocity
a is acceleration (or deceleration if negative)
Δx is the displacement (variation in position)
t is elapsed time

 

[Dynasti]

?? im not so good with Δx and vf2 and that can you maybe explain more in words??

 

[PurplePoot]

Δx is the displacement (distance for all you care).

vi is the initial velocity (how fast you should be moving at the start of the knockback).

vf is the final velocity (how fast you should be moving at the end of the knockback).

a is the acceleration (should be negative since you're slowing down).

t is the time it will take to go that displacement.

So how should i set ut the "trigger" or the "function"???

Haven't tried myself and don't have enough patience to try out and explain in detail,
but you could create a function that initiates a loop. Inside the loop you do 3 things,

1. Calculate a number, 2. Move the unit (that is being knocked back) and 3. Wait before looping again.

The calculated number, you get from the formula posted above. This is the distance the unit should move every time the loop runs.
When you move the unit, you know from, to and it's current position. Just move it in the proper direction using distance=the number previously calculated.
The waiting should perhaps be done using a countdown timer to get a more smooth animation, haven't tried either so not sure.

Good luck!

Start Effects
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to (==) Bash
Actions
Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
Set FacingAngle = (Facing of (Casting unit))
If (Rate Less than (<) 10) then do (Set Rate = 10) else do (Do nothing)
Trigger - Turn on Run Effects <gen>


The next trigger must be run by the first and initially turned off:

Run Effects
Events
Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
Conditions
Rate Greater than (>) 5
Actions
Set Position = (Position of Target)
Unit - Move Target instantly to ((Position offset by (0.00, 0.00)) offset by (Real(Rate)) towards FacingAngle degrees)
Set Rate = (Integer(((Real(Rate)) - 0.05)))
Point - Remove Position

I haven't tested so let me know if it works. Also I added anti leak. Change rates etc to adjust. +rep would be appreciated if this works =D
