Solved Vortex that attracts all enemies on screen

[kimono]

Hi, I'm trying lately to set a new blender item which spawns a vortex that can attract to its center and damage enemies for a certain period:

I just need to know how the vortex can aspirate them without they are able to do anything to avoid that.
Currently, the vortex is type none, that's why they ignore it.
The archive for testing purpose (stage motobar):

I tried a negative dropv with 0 damage and a second attack when they are near but maybye there is a better solution.
Thanks for your lights

Thanks @Kratus, the script now works perfectly and I like the changing speed according the distance between the vortex and the affected entity . I like the way this script can simulate a magnetic force too, this can have many cool applications 8) .

I'm wondering if the opposite force is possible, starting for this script: an entity that generates a wave that pushes other entities away from the source?
Example: A sismic wave that pushes back obstacles and enemies.

@kimono
I'm glad the script worked

About the opposite force, you can invert all the "xVel" values from positive to negative or negative to positive.
And yes, you can use it to create a seismic wave or a telekinesis effect.

@Kratus: Is it possible to make some obstacles invulnerable to vortex effect? Some parts of the truck makes the scene a little chaotic :

@kimono
I took a look at the code and saw that the truck parts are obstacles. We have some options:

1) Remove the type "obstacle" from the code to not allow these types to be affected by vortex
2) Let the type "obstacle" type and add each "defaultname" to identify the ones that can't be affected by the vortex

/*
* Check for specific conditions to your module here.
* This example skips non-enemy types.

if( getentityproperty(entity_cursor, "type") != openborconstant("TYPE_ENEMY")&&
   getentityproperty(entity_cursor, "type") != openborconstant("TYPE_OBSTACLE")&&
   getentityproperty(entity_cursor, "defaultname") != "truck00" &&
   getentityproperty(entity_cursor, "defaultname") != "truck01" &&
   getentityproperty(entity_cursor, "defaultname") != "truck02" &&
   getentityproperty(entity_cursor, "defaultname") != "truck03"){

    continue;
}
