Add an effect to a splash attack?

[Kabel]

I have created a new weapon for the Phoenix. The weapon look the same way. The only difference is that it deals splash damage. The weapon works well.

When the Phoenix shoots a beam at a group of enemy air units, I want a small visual effect appear on them. (To indicate which units recieved damage.)

I can´t get the effect AND the missile to appear when the Phoenix shoots. Obviously I am doing something wrong.

Where shall I place the visual effect? In the weapons actor? Create a seperate actor? Add it as an art effect in the weapon..?

Get the missle to run an area search effect which then damages units with a single target damage effect. Every time this effect runs you create the visual actors.
