Need some more help......

[Killd0zer]

I want to make a spell that causes the targeted units to be blasted backwards, I can do most of it but one part: It needs to some how get the opposite angle from the point I target (its AoE)

For Example, I target an area and an unit affected is directally south of the center of the targeted area, the unit needs to be moved from the center point, but I can't seem to find a way to do this,

I set the center as a variable, but How do I then set a point thats behind the targeted unit at the right angle?


Center Is here * Unit here * thrown back here*


Unit here*

thrown here *

(Distences are not right Just showing what I mean, If you need more info, please ask )

 

[Maker]

Temp_Loc_1 = Caster's position
Temp_Loc_ 2= Point of ability being cast/ Position of unit of ability being cast
Temp_Real = Angle between Temp_Loc_1 and Temp_Loc_2

In another trigger

Every 0.03 seconds

Temp_Loc_1 = Unit's position
Temp_Loc_ 2= Temp_Loc 1 offset by x.xx towards Temp_Real (point with polar offset)
Move unit instantly to Temp_Loc_2
