creating abilitys that work untill canceled.

from Sins Forums
as the title says, im trying to create an ability that works something like the PSI trade port, that is on  until canceled. However i do believe that it uses a entity bool modifier to get the "on" part of the ability, so my question is, can you create an ability wich you c an turn on and off (for a capital ship mind you) at will. if so can someone post an example?

Have a look at charged missiles for the Varsi assaliant. It uses "applyorremovebuff" action type.

Heres the specific info:

buffInstantActionType "ApplyOrRemoveBuffToSelf"
instantActionTriggerType "AlwaysPerform"
buffType "BuffChargedMissilesSelf"
effectInfo
effectAttachInfo
attachType "Center"
smallEffectName ""
largeEffectName ""
soundID "EFFECT_PhaseCloak"
toggleStateOnNameStringID "IDS_ABILITY_CHARGEDMISSILESACTIVE_NAME"
toggleStateOnDescStringID "IDS_ABILITY_CHARGEDMISSILESACTIVE_DESCRIPTION"


The rest is as any normal ability.
