self destruct ability

from Sins Forums

I'm trying to add a self destruct ability to one of the ships...I simply took the TEC star base self destruct ability and gave it to the envoy cruiser...but the game crashes imediatly after the envoy cruiser is build...I know there must be some changes I have to make to the self destruct ability so it works for ships too,but I don't know what to change..I want to modify the ability, so it will destroy everything in a 2000 radius, not 8000 like it is with the starbase...can anyone help me please...

If you want you can use the one i made in my Dark Secret mod for a reference. It's called " AbilitySelfDestructVampire " and there's 2 buffs that go with it. If you need more help than that let me know and I'll do what i can.
