Is there a way to make a custom zealot charge ability that deals damage and stuns on impact? I've tried making charge a set effect but it deals damage the moment the ability starts and not on impact and the stun doesn't work.

I found damage response in the buffs, and I found that I could apply it to the default charge ability, but it does not seem to take. Should this be on a negative buff? And how would I do what you describe?

Would I need a validator to check the unit being charged at?

So the damage response goes on a new buff effect? Here's a screenshot of what I did. So I need to go into the effects, create a new set effect, put the charge (apply buff) and damage effect and stun effect into the set and change the ability to do the set instead of the normal charge (apply buff)?

EDIT: Or is the "handled" entry here in combat: effect in the behavior modifications?

I think I set it up correctly. For the moment I just want to get the damage working, then I'll start adding extra effects. However, it doesn't inflict the 1000 damage on the target.

To the caster (the zealot with charge) or the target? Because I don't know how to apply the buff to the target enemy unit.

EDIT: And if you look at my screenshots, you can see that I have it set up as you said. What am I missing?

EDIT 2: I don't think I'm supposed to apply the buff in the behaviors field of the unit using this ability, yes? Since it doesn't have it by default and it would make it be doing 1000 damage on every attack and moving at double speed

EDIT 3: Perhaps if we could find a way to make it work like the Ultralisk's burrow charge... I'll look at that ability

EDIT 4: Never mind on that, it's almost 20 different effects all linked together, and if I try to change the charge ability to use a set effect it doesn't actually do the charging anymore (the part where it moves at double speed to the target, but it still goes on cooldown)

I can't just add the damage effect to the default charge ability's damage response field?

EDIT: So, in the data editor, the zealot using this charge ability would need a separate buff in its behaviors field that only does damage, the damage should be part of a set effect that has "remove behavior" as part of it as well as the damage. Right?

EDIT 2: Screenshots of my work. I would change the charge ability to use a set effect, but it makes charge not work.

In reply to DrSuperEvil:

The extra damage does not occur.

Yes, here is a screenshot of the damage  response of the custom buff.

So your damage effect is called Zealot - Charge? It should be working with that setup. If you want to make sure the damage response is procing you can use the Create Persistent effect from psi storm as a placeholder since it has a clear visual.
