I want it so that when this actor is hit by my special weapon, it gets knocked way back. What is wrong with this code? Also, how can I make this work in reverse for a future boss fight I was planning?

Its been a while since ive made a push weapon, so i cant remember the setup, but I can tell you that 500 push force is way too much. Start with 20 and fork your way up till its what you want.

Your setup looks correct.

I have an issue with using the Reference variable name 'self'. I would change it to mySelf or something more unique.

To reverse the push, you trade 'player' with 'self' in the command.

I have also not seen this kind of 'set' command. Is this OBSE or something?

set Health1 to 40(Player.GetLevel*6) 

Perhaps you mean this?

set Health1 to ( 40 * (Player.GetLevel * 6 ))

I just figured it out actually. And I also noticed that that didn't work correctly. I hit the zombie with my sword once, did 43 damage and it died =). Also the reason it didn't work was because my OnHit Block was after my GameMode Block so the CS said "Let's screw with him". It then completely ignored that entire block until I moved it above. Nice to know that now. Also yes, 500 was way too much, I just wanted to be sure that it was not in fact working. Some message prints helped find that out. Apparently 50 was too. It's at 10 now.

Another different but also effective way would be to have a scripted spell effect on the weapon.....but it wouldnt make any difference, just a different way to achieve the same result.

Hey, sorry to revive this but if i wanted to do the exact opposite, that is whenever the ENEMY hits the PLAYER with his warhammer the player gets knocked back, how would I do that?

self.PushActorAway player 50

It's not the push back part that is hard, it's making it so that it activates when ever the enemy hits the player with that hammer =/
