damage effect not working

[MissKerrigan]

Hey,

- I got a damage effect called Rockets (Damage)
- The damage amount is this damage is 8
- I got a search effect called Rockets (Search)
- I added the damage effect 2x in the search effect
- 1 of the damage effects has radius 2
- the other damage effect has radius 4

Why does targeted units only taking 8 damage and not 16?
Do I perhaps have to make a set effect and put 2 search effects in it?

When using two effects, use the "Set" effect, to apply multiple effects.

So instead of having the search effect apply two damage effects, make it apply the effect of type "Set".
The effect of type "Set" then applies your two damage effects.

I think that would be not the right way for me because the 2 effects must have a different radius

1. 8 damage in radius 2
2. 8 damage in radius 4

so all targets within radius 2 should take 16 damage, think I'm gonna need 3 search effects now

Oh, lol yeah you're right, I must've had a brain shutdown.

As far as I know, you do not need a search effect for having splash attack. Go to your damage effect, and set the Search: Area + and set it to whatever radius you like (just set it to the same you did in the search effect) now go to the Search: Search Filters and set it to the same as in your search effect.

You will still need to use a Set effect, but add the 2 damage effects to the set effect, and use the set effect as the effect in the weapon

still got the same problem

if I do this then:

targeted unit takes 24 damage
units arround in radius 2 takes 16 damage
units arround in radius 3 taking 8 damage

How do I make the targeted unit AND the units in radius 2 taking 16 damage?
Is there something I'm doing wrong?

 

[X-maul]

You want target and all units within 2 range take 16 damage, and targets from 2-3 range to take 8 damage?

You have the set effect have two damage effects, each dealing 8 damage, and 1 of them have a radius of 2 and one have a radius of 3.

 

[MissKerrigan]

I added 2 damage effects in the search effect, both deal 8 damage, 1 has radius 2 and the other has radius 3 but units still taking only 8 damage, it's kinda weird

you do NOT need a search effect....

Go to the damage effect, and go to the Search: Area + and set the radius on one of them to 2 and one to 3. Now go to the Search: Search Filters and set it to the same as in your search effect. Do this for both your damage effects.
And for the weapon you now use a Set effect, which have the effects set to your two damage effects.
