Trigger Help Plz

[Sajin]

People of Thehelper I have a problem with a skill for my soon coming map. The skill is:
The soilder shoots a bullet and once the bullet comes in contact with the spefic enemy that it was shot it, that unit gets sent backwards.

Specifications: The bullet travels through a slide trigger (the bullet is a dummy unit)
The Skill is done in GUI and i would like to keep it that way
And i know the skills leaks and for me its fine atm but for whoever corrects me wants to throw the custom script in im fine with it =)

Problems: Currently the dummy unit isan't appearing when the skill is cast
and the Knockback is fairly jumpy, and finnaly the enemy unit becomes stunned for a long period of time when i dont want it too. Currently here are my triggers

Can anyone please help me

From what I understand:

1. The bullet isn't appearing b/c the Bullet Move trigger simply moves it 11 yards away from the target each time. What you want to do is to set a base speed for the bullet, and then move the picked unit to the position of the picked unit offset by X (speed) towards angle from picked unit to target. You want it to be from the angle of the bullet to the target and not from the caster to the target so it will have a sort of "follow" effect incase the target moves.

Every .04 seconds of game time, so 25 times a second. I don't know what the range of this is, but I would say make it go like 800 yards a second. 800 /25 = 32. So move it 32 yards each time.

For example:

• Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by 32.00 towards (Angle from (Position of (Picked unit)) to (Position of Deathgrip_Target)) degrees), facing (Angle from (Position of (Picked unit)) to (Position of Deathgrip_Target)) degrees

I'll keep looking through the rest, fun question


I don't see any problems in the triggers with you pausing/unpausing the unit, so the stun might be a problem with the spell your basing it off of. If the base spell is a stun spell and you set the duration to 0 then it will last indefinitely.


The knockback is a little screwy. I use alot of knockback/grab spells in my map, I can throw together a sample trigger for you to use in place of your KnockbackUnits trigger later on tonight if no ones helped you yet.

I figured out the stun problem and it actually was the pausing / unpausing. sometime the pausing sometimes screws up when you use "Picked Unit" but thank you for the first solution il test it out now =)

From what I have read, you have the knock backed unit moving 300 in 1 second. I think that if you don't decrease the 0.04 seconds, it will look jumpy.
No offence or anything but your code is really hard to read.
