the ability to change damageRange of all randomtype
« on: August 22, 2024, 03:06:32 pm »
you can set the damagerange and explosiveDamageRange conatants, but is there an easy way to change damage of rest randomtypes? DRT_UFO_WITH_TWO_DICE, DRT_EASY, from RuleDamageType? Or is this too complex?

That's a wrong question.

If you want to change the spread then use the randomtypes that support the spread, e.g. DRT_STANDARD or DRT_EXPLOSION or DRT_FIRE.

The other randomtypes were intentionally made to NOT support spread.
Changing it is easy, but against the intention, specification and documentation.

Maybe I'm explaining it wrong, sorry.
I'm playing mod Xpirates, аll types of damage(randomtypes) are used there on weapons, such as 0-200, 50-150, 0-200*(two_dice), 50-200. If I change damagerange, the others remain as they are (drt_ufo_with_two_dice, drt_easy), if I want to reduce the spread, e.g. set damagerange 25,  there are still others with a large spread(0-200*,50-200). So I wanted to ask if it is possible to change them.

No, it is not possible to change them like that.
Intentionally.
