last abilty problem
Sins Forums
I have been trying to make another ability.
This time, I want one that once it hits a ship, it does a small damage, then jumps to another ship, does damage, jump again…and so on.
I have it working, problem it, the buff doesn’t jump. I’ll fire it at one ship, it will hit the ship, do damage, re-applies to another ship, does damage, then, instead of re-applying to a different ship again, it keeps re-applying to that ship, until that ship is dead.
Even adding a constraint “not self” doesn’t help.
Here is what I have so far…
(This is modified slightly, it disables engines and weapons. But it does the same thing, and has the same problem)

I have ran this through Developer.
Any ideas?
