I'm getting the hang of the data editor but I'm still struggling with weapon effects. I'm trying to copy a marine without duplicating everything so I just 'Add New' and base on stuff that I want.
Problem is, once I get to the Marine Gauss Effect (Damage) part it doesn't start with all the basic effects like sound and models etc.
@CrashLemon: Go You're doing nothing wrong. You need to check the actors involved. The effects by themselves don't create visuals or sound, the actors do. In the actor tab you will find the Marine's weapon visuals and sound. Check the 'action' actor type, it's important for weapons.
As stated above the Action actor is involved in the launch and impact models, the sounts and if a missile is launched where it launches from and to on the models.
I recommend you read this wiki page since action actors can be fussy.

What am I doing wrong?
