I'm just looking for some good tutorials that teaches the basics of actors and creating visuals. I understand how to edit the damage and cooldown and what not. I just don't know how to make it appear in game. Some tutorials I've read or watched start off good explaining everything and when it gets to the visuals they just tell you what to do and I just get lost.
That helps a lot thanks. I was playing around in the previewer and was kind of making visuals and I'm wondering how do I make something similar? I have Nova using the standwork animation and an dragoon missile start when standworkend plays. Is that more complex in the data editor? I'm also looking how to make a missile for that animation. I want it to be a kind of snipe ability. But I don't know how to make her play those animations so that it works properly. I want her to stand kneeling down for about 3 seconds and then fire, the prepare time is 3 seconds.

I have a tutorial about abilities and I cover how to make the visual effect. Its tutorial #3, I'll give you the link in a second...

Just skip to the part that says "adding a cool effect" if you want. Its just making an actor appear when the ability effect is triggered.
