well, it would take a lot of tinkering around, not sure if it can be done, but Here is a list of things you can use to create mods/abilities. you could try to tinker around with the "MakeDead" buffinstantactiontype and see what you c an come up with. if try to give you a more definate answer but i havent slept in around 16 hours and im kinda tired.

the final atack ability uses the "MakeDead" instantactiontype so you may want to look at that for reference to how it works.

Thanks for sharing that StCobalt, I'll have a look into what you've done and see if I can use something you've done to get my Buff to work.

At this point I'm not sure if my Buff works or if the Buff call is not firing - in the default Ability AbilityTechFrigateColonize.entity I am linking/calling my new Buff, BuffTechFrigateColonizeComplete, in the line afterColonizeBuffType, which already existed, but was blank ("")

So heres hoping a dig around your example helps...
