Periodic damage through Create Persistent effects

Ah, so many questions...

Aaaaaaaaanyway... the troublesome Data Editor rears its ugly, complicated head once more. I've run into some awful bother trying to apply a periodic damage effect to my Phoenix Fire clone - currently, I have a Damage Effect set up to do 3 damage (with no Armor Reduction) which is associated with a Create Persistent effect that should tick 3 times (at 0.000, 1.000, 2.000 +1sec delay). This is applied together with an Apply Behaviour effect and another Damage effect (both of which work, affected units are damaged and acquire the debuff).

Apart from the damage amounts and names, my two Damage Effects are identical and I can't see anything obviously wrong with the Create Persistent effect... any idea what the hell is going on with it?

If I had my quess(which I obviously do) it might be with the second picture. Its easier to just attack a image(sorry don't know how to make it a thumbnail).

I believe it has to do with one of those fields down there, that need to let it know who it is suppose to damage. without those(or one of those, idk which) I don't think it has anyone to damage

Bleh, should've updated the post last night... I managed to fix it yesterday (sorry :p), but I really don't understand what I had changed aside from 'relocating' my Initial Damage effect from being part of the Set effect, to being the Effect - Initial of my Create Persistent effect, and tweaking the Period field (from 0, 1, 2 with a 1sec delay, to a single period of 1)

Thanks for the response though - while I don't understand the vast majority of fields around, I would've assumed that the Validator fields are completely optional, so a blank Impact Unit Validator would result in no conditions being required for the Effect to follow through.

As regards thumbnail images when attaching the files, my guess would be the file format - I don't upload images directly to TH often, but I think all the ones I have uploaded are using the .png format, whereas you're using .bmp... just a hunch though

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
