| Summary | 0005093: Knock forward not fun | ||||
| Description | I don't know if it's just me but the knock forward effect is really not much fun. In many ways, it makes having a knock back effect on spells annoying rather than useful, since 1/3 of the time, the effect is the enemy ends up much closer to you! It appears that what's actually happening is that the knock back is relative to the point of impact, rather than (a) direction of shot; or (b) position of character. And that's not to mention quite HOW a lightning ball fired from the ice bat's left manages to hit such a tiny target ON ITS RIGHT... | ||||

I'm pretty sure this is a bug involving hitboxes, thus confusing the engine about which direction the projectile came from relative to the enemy. |

This has definitely been a nuisance for me as well. |

Thanks! * Put in a change to hopefully fix the "knock forward" effect. The reason that was happening is that in the time between when the hit was registered and when the hit was processed, the entity could have moved. This was particularly true in multiplayer, but also quite frequent in solo play. Now these abilities keep track of where the knock-backing spell or enemy was at the time they struck their target, and thus do the knockback based on that angle. This should solve any cases of knockback, but please let us know if not. |
