PushActorAway

[Faceshifter]

While I was trying to unravel the secrets of tossing people around, I encountered PushActorAway.

This, of course, was a breakthrough, but I didn't quite understand it. I can't seem to find a way to create a spell with it, since I did not find the right function for identifying the target.

I'm looking for some way to throw someone of his feet with a weapon. Come to think of it, I can't find a way to find the caster neither.

 

Can anyone enlighten me?

I think this will work, but I haven't tried it before. You might have to add a regular effect to the spell, like Light 1 ft for 1 second.

 

scn example

array_var temparray
ref target
ref caster
short tempshort

Begin ScriptEffectStart

let temparray := GetActiveEffectCasters
let tempshort := ar_size temparray - 1
let caster := temparray[tempshort]
let target := GetSelf
;rest of your code

I made a spell using that once. The script I used was:

 

scn VypTitansPushScript

ref target

begin scripteffectstart

set target to getself

player.pushactoraway target 10000

End

 

That sent targets flying.

I was kinda thinking in the way of GetSelf, but I always thought it was just the player. How does GetSelf work then?

Also your script will only happen if the player wields the weapon:

player.pushactoraway

How about an NPC wielding it?
