Broken NEXUS Link "Color Flash" effect

[DARwins1]

Describe the bug
In previous versions, when a NEXUS Link turret attacked a unit, that unit would momentarily vibrate and flash a variety of team colors, indicating it had been attacked with an electronic weapon. This no longer seems to occur properly.

To Reproduce

1. Use a NEXUS Link turret on an enemy unit, or be attacked by one.
2. Notice how the "Color Flash" effect will (usually) not play.

The Color Flash effect does still play, but only under unusual circumstances. I have been unable to reliably cause the effect to play without modding the game.

Expected behavior
Any unit attacked by a NEXUS Link turret should display the Color Flash effect.

Screenshots or Videos
In these screenshots, the Medium Cannon was modded to have the same effect as the NEXUS Link turret.
At this moment, an orange tank flashes yellow:

And at this moment, the same tank flashes cyan:

The Color Flash effect is difficult to illustrate properly with only images, but I tried my best here.

Your System:

• OS: Windows 7
• Game version: 3.4.1

Additional context
While the "Color Flash" effect is purely cosmetic, it is definitely useful for identifying which units are being attacked by a NEXUS Link turret and are vulnerable to switching teams.

I made this brief mockup (by taking a lot of screenshots really fast) that shows approximately what the effect looks like:

(The actual effect plays much faster)
