I want to create a normal weapon which, as a a added effect, pushes back its target. I understand I need to use forces for this, but have no idea how to attach them to a weapon - I have seen and followed this tutorial about forces but have no idea how to attach the effect to a weapon.
I don't know if it is necessary to know this to answer my question, but I would love it if the push back has splash damage - ie: doesnt just target the unit the weapon user targets but also units nearby.
Just make your force "ability", and instead of making it an ability, make a weapon and set the weapons effect as its first effect. If you want an AoE force effect, just use a search area effect that applies the force.
There are wiki articles covering the weapons and the damage effect. I recommend you read them to figure what fields you need to modify.
I advise making a Set effect for the weapon that has a Damage effect with splash and Create Persistant which performs a periodic Search Area that then applies your Apply Force effect.

Thanks in advance!
