Knock Up Stacking

[luorax]

I've made a little KnockUp snippet last night, but I'm in a little trouble: I don't know how should they stack.

The snippet basically simulates knockups (for example Impale). It is okay, it works properly.
But my problem comes here: what should happen if you try to knock up a unit that's already in the air?
-Should the system ignore it and continue the actual knockup?
-Should the unit continue the knockup but with the new knockup's speed and max height?
-Should the unit start a new knockup with zero height? (that'd look pretty strange)
-Should the two knockup summed?
-new max height = current height + knockup2 max height or;
-new max height = knockup 1 max height + knockup 2 max height?

I'd like to know your opinion.

Well, I got it I guess. The unit will continue the knockup, but will use the new max height and acceleration.

Imo the unit should be knocked up again only if the new knockup's height is higher than the unit's current height
In that case the unit would knockup from it's current height to the new knockup max height and then return to the ground.

This is exactly what I need. I tried to do it but couldn't!

Will love to check it out!:thup:

Exactly as my system works If the new given max height is lower than the unit's current height then the system will ignore it.

Will this system support knockdowns?

I would add the max height and speed together, as though it propells the unit even farther, or set it to the hightest between the accellaration and max height IE: new max height = greatest between first and second max heights and the same for accellaration

Or set the new max height = current height + 2nd knock up ability max height, and the excelleration would have to be adjusted based on current/max height and the time alloted
