Question

Greetings to all
I wrote this code to repel the enemy when kicking,

func kick_successful(kick_damage):
	if kick_damage <= 1:
		knockback_vector =  enemi.global_position
		knockback_vector *= kick_damage * KNOCKBACK_POWER
		knockback_vector *= Vector3(1, 0, 1)
		knockback_vector = knockback_vector.limit_length(KNOCKBACK_LIMIT)
		current_speed = stune_speed
		$kick_cd.start()

my question is how to add directions regarding a player’s kick
but how to make it push off in the direction, otherwise now it is not clear where it is pushing off when kicking. I had a working option when adding a player and his location, but I thought that it would not be right in the end when there would be many different enemies, locations, etc.
Well, then I want to add the same thing to the player by analogy
Thanks in advance for your concern
And an additional question in advance is how to make it smooth on the player, not jerky
On a player, it looks something like this

func knockbacking():
	var knockback_direction = -igrok.global_position 
	knockback_direction *= knockback_power
	knockback_direction *= Vector3(1, 0, 1)
	velocity = knockback_direction
	move_and_slide()

I did it, I don’t know what has changed a lot, but if it’s more convenient, then fine
