Realistic Evasion by Moving Away

[CHGhost]

I.E., running away from (or dodging) an incoming attack before it actually hits you.

For those of you who still don't get it, it's moving your unit away from an incoming ranged/melee attack before they get hurt by it, therefore dodging it. Get the idea? :nuts:

I don't mean the normal ability of Evasion, because all that is is chance...unless it really has something do with it?

If it does, then it's been hard for me trying to find the way to do it. :banghead:

Any solutions?

Make the damage type to Artilery instead of instant.
Set the AoE.
Set the damage.
Set the missile speed.

You could make a trigger that has a chance to move a unit a bit to the side and then back again when the unit is attacked.

why don't you make the unit teleport itself back and then to the position where it was

 

[CHGhost]

Make the damage type to Artilery instead of instant.

But if I do that, wouldn't it make the targeted units' death the explosive type?

 

[venci15]

no and make there not be any splash becose there can't be an arrow that can kill everybody in a range of 200

But if I do that, wouldn't it make the targeted units' death the explosive type?

Or...You could set it to ranged but don't make the missiles Homing enabled.

just set the attack type to Siege, and un-check Homing
___
if you run by a siege arrow you won't loose damage

Cool, I see the stuff working now. Thanks .

But one more question:

I want to show that the unit actually missed its attacked with that miss over the attacker's head, so that the players know that that unit got lucky. 'Cause as of now, it doesn't show it.

Solutions to that too?

 

[CHGhost]

Set the AoE.
Set the damage.
Set the missile speed.

Just out of curiosity, what settings would you recommend for this?

 

[Insane!]

Make the damage type to Artilery instead of instant.

missle splash has the same effect

Set the Range Motion Buffer of the attack to something small like 64 (cells), it solves completly your question :
- shows if the attack misses
- misses if the target has moved a bit between attack and hit

Range Motion Buffer can apply to melee and ranged attacks.
