Teleporting to the back of an enemy

[FarAwaY]

Hello all,

I am creating a teleporting spell to the back of a target. However, I really aren't good with math and the like, so I'd like to ask how do you teleport a person to the back (behind) of a target?

Also, can you change the name of Neutral Passives, Neutral Hostiles, etc so that they show up in game (much like how your player name shows up) ?

Use the math formula:

((Facing of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - 180.00)

So, in the end, you'll be using the action "Unit - Move unit (instantly)" and the destination point as "Polar projection".

Let me confirm.

Set Location = [Position of Target Unit Being Cast] offset by [(Facing of Target Unit of Ability Being Cast) - 180] towards [0.00] degrees.

Right? If so, it doesnt work.

EDIT: Ahhh I figured it out...it should be towards 90 degrees...Thanks alot anyway dax =)

I would be quite surprised if that worked even with 90 degrees.

"offset by" determines the distance. "towards" determines the angle. Therefore, you should come up with:

Set Location = [Position of Target unit of ability Being Cast] offset by 100.00 towards ((Facing of Target Unit of Ability Being Cast) - 180.00) degrees.

If that lands you too far or close behind change the "100.00" value for something else between 25.00 and 200.00

yeah you're right. Ended up buggy when I tested it on a stationary target. Guess I got lucky.

Thanks! +rep
