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?
 
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.
 
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.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
