I was working on my lift ability for mercy, but I can’t force a hero up ward, they just get stuck in a direction that is not up

I have made a funny code for Sombra hero team 1 and 6 bots team 2. When Sombra is close to a bot ( minimum 10m ) she can use her Secondary Fire (replaced Hacking) to activate an antigrav-ray with low damage, stun it. The ray is activated til Sombra’s player holds button (Secondary Fire), stays in 10m or less from a bot and there is nothing between them. Same effect can be applied to all bots that comes to Sombra or Sombra comes to them.

Anyway I’m done with the ult beams, they are now working as intended. Now I’m trying to implement Mercy’s lift which I am visualize as Mercy lifting hero a few metres into the air and they are locked in place there. I figured it would be as simple as rooting enemies but I don’t know how to put them up in the air

Manguy, check my code with “antigrav-ray” to learn how to hold a player in the air :]

I’m starting to get the hang of this workshop stuff. I think I really experienced a breakthrough when I eventually understood how arrays and variables worked and how they are used. Discovered subroutines which help a lot with the inspire buff though I still do have some work to do. Also just recently discovered how to change variable and subroutine names (so helpful!)

Good start, just keep it up :+1:
