Passive knockback.

[KooH]

I made a Knockback passive skill. What it does is whenever the hero that has this skill is attacked, there is certain chance to knockback the attacking enemy unit. The problem is that when my hero is attacking, this skill doesn't activate, but when i move around while getting attacked by the ememy units, it activates.. I want to make it happen ALWAYS. please check my trigger, and fix please. thanks.

EDIT: I made those interger chances really large for now, so i can see if it works or not.

I believe the problem isn't actually the fact that it doesn't work when they're sitting there attacking. It's just the way the 'Unit is attacked' event functions.

When a unit is attacked, it DOESN'T mean he is actually hit, or takes damage, or anything. It just means that he starts to be under attack, if that makes any sense.

So what I'm guessing is, when your character is in melee, the enemy units have been issued the order to attack, and are comfortably hacking away.

When you run away, the enemy units have to move around to follow you, and their attack order is issued several times, which is what is causing the trigger to fire.

You would probably be better off using a different event. Perhaps a 'Unit takes damage' event, with conditions that ensure that the damage is not from a damage-over-time spell, or atleast ensuring that the attacker is nearby?

Hope that helps. I don't know if that's actually the problem as I have not tested it, but it's just a potential theory.

Use GDD to check when a unit takes damage.

Use GDD to check when a unit takes damage.

Yes, that's the easiest way i think. Just use GDD and there you go

 

[KooH]

What's GDD?

 

[Wratox1]

its a damage detection system
click me

 

[KooH]

By the way, Where is the event "Unit takes damage?" I can't find it..

 

[Wratox1]

use this

• Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00

when youve got the GDD in your map

and if you meant the unit takes damage event in gui, there is none
