Summary

Visual Effect Powerup does not work properly, I apply the effect to the player that has been damaged, but the instigating player is also taking the effect.

In the other hand, when a player with the visual effect teleports, loses the Visual Effect. This is not my main problem but it is strange that I did not find anybody with this issue.

This device has been always a completly mess for me for months. I thought It would have been fixed now.

            DamageEffect_ItemGranter, DamageEffect_HUDEffect, DamageEffect_HUDMessage)
