Problem with a spell

[Chao]

Hey, thanks for taking the time to help.

We'll start with the tooltip, so you know what it's supposed to do, then triggers, then I'll explain the problem.

"The Wendigo slams an opponent, stunning the target for 3 seconds and dealing damage over time. The blow is struck with such force that the target is thrown backwards for 2 seconds, becoming a gravitational missile that pulls other units in and knocking them back as well."

It looks SUPER sharp, but the problem is in the angle; the units ALWAYS go straight up. I have a trigger that almost replicates this that works without flaw, so I'm tremendously curious as to why it's fail. Anyone have any ideas?

Is the purpose of this line to move the enemy units?

• Unit - Move ZAB_OverpowerPushTarg[(Integer A)] instantly to MemSaverPoint

Is the skill like dragging all the enemy units in the area or is it random units in the area? Then, why use loop? Cant you pick all units in the group and make them knockback?

Is the knockback problem with the Targeted enemy or the AOE enemies?

 

[Chao]

The reason is because it's single-target, then picks up more units as it travels along. That used to read a lot better; they moved to a point offset from their current location at a slower rate, so they could, in essence, "fall out" of the spell.
That part works fine.

But yeah, it's dragging them around.
