The following script works just fine, except that hostile creatures who suffer the knockdown and single point of damage stand up after the three rounds have passed and proceed to do nothing at all, even though the PC caster is in plain view.
If the caster subsequently attacks any of them, they will retaliate in the normal fashion, but it would be nice if they took exception to being knocked flat from the get-go!
The spell is definitely flagged as a hostile casting in spells.2da, so that's not the issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This spell creates a gust of wind in all directions
around the target. All targets in a huge area will be
affected:
- Target must make a Fortitude save vs. spell DC or be
knocked down for 3 rounds
- plays a wind sound
- if an area of effect object is within the area
it is dispelled
