erm , I think it has to do with the ability being used on 1 ship, and having the effects of that ability be shared on just 1 ship, or on all

Ok, now I got curious too.

I've changed it to false, to true and tested everything. It doesn't seem to have any effect at all. :NOTSURE:

Devs, do we get a hint? :)

I have tried both settings and it has no obvious effect. If i understand lordkosc correctly than in tne kol ability flak burst (at level 1) 30 damage would be divided between all targets affected by the ability. ie 3 targets 10 damage each.

instantAction
buffInstantActionType "DoDamage"
instantActionTriggerType "OnDelay"
delayTime 0.000000
damage
Level:0 30.000000
Level:1 45.000000
Level:2 60.000000
damageAffectType "AFFECTS_SHIELDS_AND_HULL"
damageType "PHYSICAL"
isDamageShared TRUE

If so than setting isDamageShared to false would mean that the ability would do the full 30 damage to all 3 targets. can anybody confirm?

you also have to take into account the damage modifiers for each ship... stupid modifiers (its in the gameplay constants file

what if its an advent ability to allow damage to be spread over your ships?
