Glad I asked. That would have taken me hours if not days to figure out on my own. Thanks for putting it all together for me. A little duplicating, some renaming, works like a charm. Thanks again.
As for the cursor, you need an actor of type Splat -> Cursor Splat. Like the "PsiStormCursorSplat (Unnamed)" actor for Psi Storm.
Note: in your ability, you also need to set the field Cursor Effect to your search area effect, so the splat know which radius it should be at.
My ability already points to the search effect. And I get making a new actor. But where do I tell the search effect what actor to link to? There's no "Actor" field in the list of fields inside a search effect.
As for the lightning effect in Psi Storm, this is done by the actor "High Templar Psi Storm Model". I assume you can use them as a refference, and do something similar with your ability.
And this pretty much amounts to the same question as above, where do I link it to the Actor. I don't see an "Actor" field.
So I created an ability that is designed to lay down a patch of ooze that slows down anything crossing over it. I created a Search Area effect and a Persistent effect going off Psi Storm as a reference. The ability itself works, but the bigger problem is that when I go to use the ability it only shows the single target reticule like it's looking for one target. However the AoE is working correctly because it highlights units that come within range of the cursor.
How do I make it show the circle that represents the AoE where the ooze will land, like in Psi Storm or Grenade?
And while I'm asking, how do you create a persistent display like the psionic lightning created by Psi Storm? I know you have to add some actors, but I haven't found where those actors are linked to the ability.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
