Can projectile change monster's velocity?

I'm making new small mod, in which you can push monsters away. There is a way to make this thing real, and if yes then how?

Patience is a virtue. This is a forum, not instant messaging. Most users aren't online all the time, and even if they are, they might not be able to answer your question.

You'd probably be interested in setting the ProjectileKickBack property for your projectiles. That does exactly what you're describing. Weapons can also have the Weapon.KickBack property, which does the same for melee / hitscan attacks.

Alternatively you could do it manually via ZSCript by imparting some of your projectile's velocity (or some static velocity) to whatever it hits, which may offer more consistent / controllable results but requires a little more coding.

Does that work for melee attacks as well?
