Weapon Damage

[Flacid Assassin]

i got a question wasnt sure if this is where it goes

but say i wanna make the gun kill an opponet in 6 shots what would i set the damage to

if someone could make me a dage thing form making like 20 shots from 1 shot to 20 shots

what would i put the damage to on all of those?

Well, the speed also changes the amount of pain inflicted onto a Soldat... you just need to keep testing out the weapons on bots to see their strength.

yeah thats what i been doing but its hard to make what i want lol

Thing is, damage is based on both the power level and the speed of the bullet. Which means a spas shot, which moves slow but kills at close range won't might not do nearly as well at long range because it loses speed much faster than, say, a barrett shot. So, if you want a consistent 6 shot kill, set the speed really high and screw around with the damage values, because with a high enough speed level, it won't vary enough to make a difference.

Of course, you also have to worry about whether you hit them in the head/feet/body ect. So no, you can't have a gun that always kills in 6 shots.

*EDIT* Oh, check out the fan apps section; if I remember correctly Avis made a program to help with damage calculating.

*FURTHER EDIT* It's here, but I'm not sure whether it can help with modded weapons, or just the basics.

I hope the damage formula can be of help

dang i read that like 15 times and still did not understand it

someone should make a editor where u type how many shots to the head you want to kill

Assume you want a weapon with 260 speed and 5 headshots to kill:

X * 1.15 * 260 * 5 = 150 000 (5 shots should be just enough for a kill)
Y * 1.15 * 260 * 4 = 149 999 (4 shots should be as little as possible away from a kill)

X = 100,334... = 101 (should kill, so round up)
Y = 125,417... = 125 (shouldn't kill, so round down)

The weapon should have between 101 and 125 damage. However this assumes you're standing still and shooting a foe from zero range. The speed drops of as the bullet travels.

[O.R.I.O.N.]

I get the feeling that this entire concept is largely beyond F_A. Though, now I know the general formula for damage. Yippee.
