I don't know how big this request is, or how hard the ability is to make, but here it goes.
What I need help with is an ability that is circular and retracts units in a radius to the casting unit. This, I think I could figure out myself, but what I'd ideally want it to do is an effect like this one, just circular:
you mean you just want units to be pulled to the caster? Create an "Apply Force" effect with the force value of -1, a "Search Area" with your radius and the force effect, and a "Create Persistent" with a period of 0.0625 that uses the search area (Either make it an effect-instant ability or make the persistent target the caster)
0.0625*16=1 (A period count of 16 is equal to 1 second, so set the period count to how long you want the pull to last)
What I said in the OP was that I know how to make units be pulled back, it's the effect that 'pushes them away' as in the video that i don't get. Making the units 'follow' the search area.
Appreciate the help though!
EDIT: It's purely for the asthetics, and I can live with the basic ability, but I'd really love to know how to do this, so that I can apply it on other spells :)
That is just a returning missile that pulls them to a moving epicenter like the mothership vortex but on a missile unit. What you are wanting to do is push and pull them so they stay at a constant radius which needs Location Range validators. If not define what you mean by circular?
Would be hard to create an even spread. I advise a buff or Create Persistent that uses a rapid periodic Search Area that uses a target sort based on proximity and a limited number of targets. The Apply Force uses a Location Range validator to prevent overshooting and then as a final effect on the Create Persistent or buff it applies a Create Persistent effect that draws all the units in.

Hi!

Is it possible? I'd really like this to work! :))

Yea, units within the radius are to be pushed to the edge of the radius and then pulled inwards, towards the casting unit
