Chaining abilities?

possible>

Hey guys

Is it possible to have an ability that chains to multiple targets?

like a lightning strike going from target to target to target.

 

thanks in advance

UNITY MASS SHOULD DO CHAINING DAMAGE

Ignore Seleuceia till the booze wears off.  What you actually want is ApplyBuffToTargetsInRadiusWithChainTravel.

 

It may not be in Unity Mass, but it does exist in all versions of Sins.  See BuffChargedMissilesSpawnDamage.

yeah i tried that however the chaining only works with a beam effect, i cant get it to work with a projectile

 

The idea is basicly a torpedo that fires and impacts a ship, bounces to the next and that around 4 times gaining damage output with each impact

Your only shot is manually chaining it yourself then.

 

Edit: The streams of torpedoes frozen in space from testing this is pretty funny.
