Hello

I am trying to display a beam when a specific effect is applied to a unit. However, I come upon this error when the effect is applied: http://imgur.com/WX8poBv

I have litteraly duplicated the ArchonAttack in order to create my ArchonAttack2, I have just changed the "Attack Effect" to my "Apply Behavior" (then I tested with a Set Effect, with same result) but I get the error...

The thing I am asking here, beside a little bit of help on this issue, is to know where I can find tutorials on how to make simple stuff like Beam, Persistent Beams... I have tried almost everything, nothing works. I am using exclusively only Behaviors and Effects for this (no Abilities or Weapons), maybe this is the problem? I don't think so because everything is related to the Effects events, but I can be wrong.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: My first Error when I first created the Beam Actor without a GenericAttack Action Actor, is that all my beams were working, and targetting the first target only.

Yea I got the Art Beam with the correct beam with similar values as the Archon one.

I will try to use a Damage Dummy, as you suggested, but that's quite strange cause I already succeeded with other effects like "Modify Unit" in the past.

Thanks though

EDIT: Tested with Dummy damage, and it worked... well I guess I'll use this now :/ Thank you very much. If someone succeeded with other effects please let me know.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Yes beams are incredibly frustrating! I spent 2 hours of my life trying to attach a beam to an apply behavior effect only to realize that beams only really work for damage effects for some reason. Chalk another one up to the editor's fickleness!
