If I'm stuck with another ability should I post here or should I create a new thread? (for each ability?) It would probably be better to rename this one to "Help me with abilities" and keep posting here right?

Some very useful instantAction types are missing: "InitializeMovementTowardLastSpawner" aka Repulsion Field, which is explained in detail on the first page though. I also discovered the following when working with it: The InitializeMovement action persists until removed through ResetPhysicsState. If a second InitializeMovement command is given while the first one is still in effect, even if the two point in opposite directions and come from different buffs, the new one is

Thanks for the reply. I don't need custom particle effects (I would love to find a different solution for the ability though) As for the other ability, the scout ability doesn't exactly "cancel out" the debuff, as far as I can see, and neither does said buff shut down once the research is done.

Ok, so the "periodically reapply" option seems to work, it just doesn't look very pretty with the Flux Field effect because it dissipates every 2 seconds. Any ideas on a different approach?

As the title says I'm trying to make an ability similar to the Advent "Synergy" skill, only as an ultimate that works on ships. The actual ability works fairly well, but when a new ship enters the AoE it only gets the boost for all other new arrivals, not the ships already present. My setup so far is: Ability: Copy of "Flux Field", target buff changed to "Fleet Synergy Self" Fleet Synergy Self: Copy of "Flux Field Self", applies "Fleet Synergy Spawn" to targets in rang
