How do you make a weapon an area effect weapon?

1) You need to give the unit a passive ability (like AbilityIncendiaryShells) that fires a 'buff' every time the weapon is fired.
2) You need a buff placed on the target that spawns damage to targets in range (like BuffClusterWarheadsSpawnDamage)
3) You need a buff called by the spawn damage buff that actually hurts the individual ships by doing damage (Like BuffClusterWarheadsDoDamage)
I gave this ability to my improved krosov frigates, who have nuclear missiles that do splash damage to nearby ships.
Good luck.

Anybody know if the damage applied by these types of abilities is considered the source weapon damage type or if it is just considered ability damage? IE when LRMS fire cluster warheads, is the added AoE damage anti-medium, or does it just deal straight unmodified damage regardless of armor type?
It's Capital Ability damage, as far as I know. I wish there were a way to give it a damage type, but I don't know if that works..
Sorry, I haven't had a chance to reply back to your comments been a little occupied.

So your saying that it has to an ability ? I thought the javalin units were suppose to damage near by units.
Don't think they use any abilities, looked over there code but I think i may have missed somthing I will check again.
