I want my beam weapon to stun enemy units.
Or more generally, I want weapon buffs to work on enemy units "on impact"

The AddBuff function appears in Unit.lua and the specific reference to the STUN buff appears there. Now, it might help if I knew what you were going for.

AppliedToTarget should have read true in my original post, my bad. I pasted after I had been fiddling.

It seems really odd to me that OnFire would affect enemy units correctly (in radius of the muzzle) but OnImpact would only affect allied units (in radius of the target). As far as I can tell, the CollisionBeam.lua and Projectile.lua in lua.nx2 have the same code to determine what the beam weapon is applied to as well.

Any idea how I should go about "fixing" this part of supcom?

I do believe that the downside of the OnFire trigger would be to try and buff units around the firing weapon - as opposed to those at the point of impact -- and -- as pointed out, AppliedToTarget should be equal to true.

well im not an expert but why is

Code:: AppliedToTarget = false,

also i would disable onfire and only to it onimpact.
take this as an example (from equilibrium):

Code:: Buffs = { { Add = { ImpactTypeDisallow = { 'Shield', }, OnImpact = true, }, AppliedToTarget = true, BuffType = 'STUN', Duration = 3.5, Radius = 12, TargetAllow = 'TECH1', TargetDisallow = 'TECH2,WALL', }, { Add = { ImpactTypeDisallow = { 'Shield', }, OnImpact = true, }, AppliedToTarget = true, BuffType = 'STUN', Duration = 2.5, Radius = 12, TargetAllow = 'TECH2', TargetDisallow = 'WALL', }, { Add = { ImpactTypeDisallow = { 'Shield', }, OnImpact = true, }, AppliedToTarget = true, BuffType = 'STUN', Duration = 1.5, Radius = 12, TargetAllow = 'TECH3', TargetDisallow = 'WALL', }, },

if that doesnt work it might just be beam things, since thats from a projectile.

Buffs applied weirdly?

Hi FAF,
I've been attempting to clean up my EMP-beam tank unit. All its supposed to do is fire a beam at a target thereby stunning it.
Except I get weird stun application:

At target, the stun is applied to my units and not the enemy's. Where the beam starts from the stun is applied to enemy targets.!? (Look closely in image for the stun symbol). Only the two blue tanks on the right are firing.
In the DUL301_unit.bp there are two things that seem to control it; "OnFire" and "OnImpact". Disabling one or the other removes the above effects but doesn't fix them.

Code:: Buffs = { { Add = { OnFire = true, OnImpact = true, }, AppliedToTarget = false, BuffType = 'STUN', Duration = 2, Radius = 5, TargetAllow = 'ALLUNITS', TargetDisallow = 'COMMAND', }, }, CollideFriendly = false,

How do I get the OnImpact part to work properly and affect enemy units? Thanks!
