Lightning Damage

Wondering where to start with adding a damage modifier to the lightningfx. What sort of resources would be good in learning abit about adding damage to things like lightning?

In your lightningData(LightningStorm) datablock add

directDamageType = $DamageType::Lightning;
directDamage = 100;

plus add this function

function LightningData::applyDamage(%data,%lightning,%target,%position,%normal)
{
   %target.damage(%lightning,%position,%data.directDamage,%data.directDamageType);
}
