Basically, this spell is supposed to pull nearby enemy units towards you and deal damage to them.

Vacuum Pull is a spell based off Dark Summoning. I changed targets allowed to Air, Enemy, Ground, Neutral and Ward. But it still doesn't do anything at all, not even teleporting friendly units.

Then I tried this.

It does move units instantly to the casting unit, but it also moves structures. How can I make it so that it doesnt move structures?

If there is a way to make dark summoning target enemy units, I will be glad to use the above trigger.

Well... that's hardcoded. As far as I know, it can't be changed.

marven15	Why don't you classify the types of unit that can be pulled up? Like only pick units that are not Structure types.

You should add check:

Trigger:

If - Conditions

((Picked Unit) is Structure) equal to No

By the way, you can greatly reduce you code, because radius have math dependence on spell's level. Look:

Trigger:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within (400.00 + Real(Level of Vacuum (arcane wizard) for (Casting Unit)) x 100.00)) of (Position of (Casting unit))) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

((Picked Unit) is Structure) equal to No

Then - Actions

Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (Position of (Casting unit))

Else - Actions

Unit - Create 1 Dummy Caster for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Unit - Add Vacuum Damage to (Last created unit)

Unit - Set level of Vacuum Damage for (Last created unit) to (Level of Vacuum (arcane wizard) for (Casting unit))

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Warden - Fan Of Knives

Unit - Hide (Last created unit)

Unit - Add a 2 second General expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Also, I'd to add check for magic immune units (and, probably, dead units)

Yup that's the correct trigger.

That wouldn't work properly, you'd need to pick every unit and then have the actions set inside. It reads up to down, not in and then check everything around it.

You'd run the unit check loop (pick all units and do actions (multiple)), run the conditions inside it (If/Then/Else).

Damn, I placed condition in a wrong place >_< . +1, Ephemera, +1

Trigger:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within (400.00 + Real(Level of Vacuum (arcane wizard) for (Casting Unit)) x 100.00)) of (Position of (Casting unit))) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

((Picked Unit) is Structure) equal to No

Then - Actions

Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (Position of (Casting unit))

Else - Actions

And one more action recommended for adding (in the end):

Trigger:

Unit - Add a 2 second General expiration timer to (Last created unit)

marven15	Lolz I'm so stupid... I didn't noticed that... -_-

dabest2503	How can I make it so that it won't move Invulnerable units too? I tried using Magic Immune but it still moves Invulnerable units and doesn't move magic immune units..

Tide-Arc Ephemera	I think there's a comparison along the lines of "Is Unit Vulnerable" or something.

No, there isn't. Unless I must be looking at the wrong place..

Spec	It's nonstandard check, located in Integer comparison category: Trigger: If - Conditions (Level of Invulnerable (neutral) for (Picked unit)) equal to 0 Read it as "if picked unit is vulnerable". This should work properly.
