How to push creatures around?

chimeric

Sometimes when the characters are trying to get to their places in a formation, the bad AI will have them collide and bump into each other and on occasion characters will get pushed forward or to the side by those walking past them. They slide a short way. Is there any way to make this happen as a game effect?

Search on the word "NPCBump".

Thank you. If I wanted to use that for a knock-back spell blast type of effect, I should disable enemies animations and make them "walk" away for a distance with this bump effect on, correct?

No. For that I'd take an example from the Smite HLA use the Wing Buffet opcode. Check out SPCL909.SPL in BG2EE.

Oh yes, the wing buffet. Thanks... How do you know these things?
