Offset ?

[hdm]

So i see many spells, specifically those using knockback, drag, basically spells that trigger unit movement using 'Move Unit Instantly by Offset X degrees.' And i just don't understand what is the offset part of it and how to use it effectively(or working [sorry,I am really new with this powerfull tool]).Does the Offset set the delay of the movement so it really isn't 'Instant'?

Also,about Polars Offsets...Too

polar offset just make a point depend by distance from target and degree like in picture what i posted

if u increase the toward then point will be in same diraction just longer distance, this way u can make a spell where u do a loop like this example

loop
exitwhen degree>360
make a unit position of caster toward=100, degree = degree
unit order move to position of caster toward=600, degree = degree
degree= degree + 45
endloop

overall its just a example how work a simple nova spell if unit what u create is a dummy unit with something missile model

i am not sure how to explain it in words but i try.

• Set any_point = ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 600.00 towards 50.00 degrees)

so this sets the point to posion of triggering unit 600 yards (or whatever its called) awey in a direction of 50 degrees
