Tanks vs Trees lol

mmk well currently im trying to make a spell so that my tanks for my project will just plow them over when they are moving. well acourse the basic idea would be to give ability on movment then get rid of ability the problem seems to be that I haven't found a ability that works. I tried all the immulations including the hero and netural one and added the target tree tag but it still dosen't wan't to kill those trees. any ideas?

this would be a basic trigger to use for this type of thing:

rulerofiron99	Just play around with the distance and radius until you are perfectly happy with it. Perhaps I should also make a sub-system that checks if the tank is moving... I mean, it'll look kinda bad if the tank just turns towards a tree and it dies
