A new Modding challenge! Now on to Part 2!

The ability is most certainly working. Setting it to -100 means NO damage is applied at all, and that's how it works out.

Works for shields and armor as well; tested at 90% reduction, reduced 350 damage hit to 35, as expected..

EDIT: and it just plain works. Positive values increase damage, negative ones decrease. If I had to guess, PES, your Damage Type and the one the engines are using don't match.

[Fyron]

Are you using negative values, PES?

Stock Energy Refractor:

Ability 1 Type := Weapon Delivery Type Damage Received Modifier Percent
Ability 1 Description := Decreases damage from incoming beam weapons by [%Amount1%]%.
Ability 1 Scope := Space Object
Ability 1 Range Formula := 0
Ability 1 Amount 1 Formula := -1 - (([%Level%] - 1) * 1)
Ability 1 Amount 2 Formula := "Energy Beam"

Another possibility, of course, is a "num abilities := N" being too small.

No I was using positive, PD I'm blaming you for that

[President_Elect_Shang]

Excellent, thank you all!

[Kana]

So what was the final solution?

[Phoenix-D]

He used my positive values, which were INCREASING the damage by 90%.

Still, should have noticed that during the test PES.

Well I was think more like a detailed explanation of what he implemented in the his TC based on the suggestions...

By the way good job all...I hope to use and abuse you all later as well...
