# Channeled Effect

## Creation

To create a channeled effect, find (or create) the *GameName/Resources/GameName/AbilityEffect* folder (or any subfolder) in the project tab and right click.  Choose *Create > AnyRPG > Abilities > Effects > ChanneledEffect*.

## Properties

In addition to all the properties of its parent class, [Fixed Length Effect](/scriptable-objects/ability-effects.md#fixed-length-effect-properties), channeled effects have the following properties.

| Name         | Description                                                                                                                                                          |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Effect Delay | The delay, in seconds, that should pass after spawning the visual effects, before any subsequent [Ability Effects](/scriptable-objects/ability-effects.md) are cast. |

## Next steps

* Add a channeled effect to an [Ability](/scriptable-objects/abilities.md).
* Add a channeled effect to another [Ability Effect](/scriptable-objects/ability-effects.md) to chain them together.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.anyrpg.org/scriptable-objects/ability-effects/channeled-effect.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
