[Solved] Help with beam

I’m trying to add a beam to the “Science Vessel - Irradiate” ability, so it shoots a beam to the unit it’s targeting.

I want to use the green heal beam.

The ability works perfectly fine, it just doesn’t show the beam model, currently.

I have tried duplicating the “Medic Heal Beam” actor and editing the events so it includes “Effect -> Science Vessel - Irradiated Set -> Start -> Create”, but that didn’t seem to work.

I also tried the same thing editing the events of the unit’s actor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

POST EDIT**********************************

I was able to get it to work by duplicating the “Medic Heal Beam” actor again and following the steps in the events of “Effect -> Science Vessel - Irradiated Set -> Start -> Create” (For some reason it worked this time)

And then I was able to get it to stop showing the beam continuously by changing the duplicated actor to “Beam Simple Animation Style One Shot”, and adding “Effect -> Science Vessel - Irradiated Periodic Damage -> Start -> Destroy” to the events.

Hope this post helps others in need.
