The knockback trigger works all fine, but the problem is that he sometimes moves to a point where there are nothing, and then slashes the air.

So, what that is my problem, i dont know. Help whould be aprechiated.

Oh, thanks didnt noticed it myself.

T E S T I N G

EDIT: Now it works perfectly, now i need a good icon and 3 other spells for my hero, then i upload him.
btw updated the spell, u might see that i use some mirror image dummies there, looks like MI effects, removed them bacause it looks better now, and the hero got a yellow thing on the sword when he attacks, so it appears a yellow line between him and where he was.

I might come up with more questions if the other stuff dont work...

Ignitedstar	I have question relating to such a spell. When the caster is slicing things, will he always be targeted as invulerable? Or does he just move to fast for any unit to hit him?

He can be hit, but if you make him invulnerable he IS actually invulnerable.
He moves very fast, but not to fast to not be hit. About 8 out of 10 attacks will miss.
