[Solved] Why this happens?

Pls see this video to understand Demostracion2.mp4
I wanna know if "Ethereal" its a very special type of unit and I have to consider that.
Correction: I think is not inmune, he get "repelled" instead of pulled, seriously why?

These are the triggers:

What is your question?

I think, the video explains that, the vortex have to "atract" units, Why the unit gets "repelled" from the vortex if is in ethereal?

Hello?

ThompZon · Aug 22, 2020

I've looked at it, it seems really strange. No idea why. I mean, you set a location...
Probably something else that's messing with you.
Do ethereal units have any move/push triggers?

I don't know, that's why I ask.

Ok heres the map to test it, the triggers are in a carpet "Habilidades Heroe"

Devalut · Aug 23, 2020

What a strange bug...
Oddly enough moving it to a new map seems to fix the issue, so It might be related to the version you are using... but the fact that I can recreate it while on 1.31 on your map... How very curious!

Caused by conflicting trigger of sorts. Issue disappeared after deleting all non-relevant triggers.

As a guess another trigger enhanced ability is firing logic when the unit is banished and hence causing them to move away.

Eh?

Dr Super Good · Aug 23, 2020

What is happening is the unit is running away because it is is taking damage while being banished, and so unable to attack the damage source. The movement is occurring at a sub-frame level in-between the cancelations from the trigger based movement.

The solution is to pause any units caught inside the vortex. This prevents them from running away between trigger movement updates. Natural forms of pause such as stuns could also be used.

Deleting triggers stopped the bug because it broke the damage logic. As the unit was no longer taking damage it was no longer running away. Disabling the damage logic has a similar and more direct effect.

Ok, I will try that of pause that units.

Edit: Can you say me how to do a trigger for do that?, because I'm using "pause units" in some other things too.

Dr Super Good · Aug 24, 2020

A rough idea is to use a unit group to track the paused units. Any unit affected by vortex gets added to this unit group. When the spell ends all the units in the unit group are then unpaused and the unit group is cleared for re-use next cast. This replaces the pause logic used on just the units that enter the centre, since now all units that enter any part of the vortex would be paused.

Another idea that might work would be to issue the stop order to the unit after dealing damage to it. Maybe this would cancel the flee movement. Might be worth trying out as it avoids needing to deal with pausing/stunning units.

Well, I thought someting similar, thanks.

Edit: Ok, the problem is solved, thanks for your help.
