You'll need to add a new buff that uses DoDamage instead of DoDamageToPlanet, however.

How exactly would I be able to do that?

I already have a custom mod that I use from the Reference files. Im just wondering where Im supposed to change the buffs.

I dont really understand how, so could someone maybe Send me a modified Razeplanet file?

I would but every time I edit, when I launch the game, it crashes due to a runtime error.

does the un-modded game crash wiht the same runtime error?

if yes, then there is a compatability issue between your computer setup and sins,

if no have you tried running the mod in the dev.exe? it might be able to help you track down exactly where the error is

harpo

Look in the current Raze Planet buff file, and find the entry that has the "doDamageToPlanet".  It should look something like this....

Keep in mind I am doing this from memory so it may not all be correct, but should put you in the right direction.

"numOnDelayInstantActions (or something like this) 1

onDelayinstantActionType "DoDamageToPlanet"

delayTime 0.0000000

>doDamage

>>level:0 xxxxx

>>level:1 xxxxx

>>level:2 xxxxx

>>level:3 xxxxx"

You want to change it to something like the following:

"numOnDelayInstantActions (or something like this) 2

onDelayinstantActionType "DoDamageToPlanet"

delayTime 0.0000000

>doDamage

>>level:0 xxxxx

>>level:1 xxxxx

>>level:2 xxxxx

>>level:3 xxxxx

onDelayinstantActionType "DoDamage"

delayTime 0.0000000

>doDamage

>>level:0 xxxxx

>>level:1 xxxxx

>>level:2 xxxxx

>>level:3 xxxxx"

Also, to make it target ships you need to go to the "targetFilter" section of the Raze Planet ability file and make the following changes.  like before, I am doing this from memory so it may not be completely accurate, but you should get the idea...

Find the lines in the ability file (will be near the top) that say:

"numTargets 1

>planet

targetFilter

>enemy

numSpaces 0"

And make the changes to the "numTargets" area:

"numTargets 5

>planet

>corvette

>frigate

>capitalShip

>titan

targetFilter

>enemy

numSpaces 0"

Hope this helps!

You apply the damage changes (1st part of post) to the "buffRazePlanetTarget" file, and the the second part regarding the target info goes into the Ability file.  However, the buffrazeplanetlauncher file may also have the target info too.  If that is the case then you should put it in both the ability and buff----launcher files.

Does that make sense?

Do you have an entity coded wrong?  Like a capitalship that is in the titan slot on the player.entity file?

Alot of stuff can cause a runtime error, the one I ran into was when I tried to put a different ship in for a titan.... Titans are coded differently than capitalships, which caused a runtime error.... You are sure its a runtime error and not a "minidump".... Are you running the game in the developer exe?  If not, you need to be so it will give you a starting point on where to go for error troubleshooting.

All the errors seem to come from the BuffRazePlanetTarget file. 

I cant see anything wrong with the code. Can you try and clear it up for me? Heres the file

Sure I can take a look at it when i get home from work.

It no longer Minidumps/crashes but ingame, attempting to select the Raze Planet ability, all there is is a blank sign with the words "String not Found"

The string used is in the ability file not the buff so you must have changed something in the ability.
