If i want the melee weapon to inflict base (before 0-200%) damage == current hit points:

Code: [Select]

    power: 0
    meleeMultiplier:
      healthCurrent: 1.0
or

Code: [Select]

    power: 0
    damageBonus:
      healthCurrent: 1.0
?

[Meridian]

it's damageBonus

(meleeMultiplier affects accuracy)

Thanks!

help with math

i'd like to define a weapon that inflicts a lot of fatal wounds (and lesser normal damage), and i thought about this as an example:

Code: [Select]

power: 50
damageAlter:
  ToHealth: 0.5
  ToWound: 3.0
so, let say the shot deals perfectly average damage =  50 dmg
50 - 30 from an hypothetical armor = 20
20 * ToHealth = 10 final effective damage to the unit
since the final damage >= 10, then --> 3 to 9 points of fatal wounds (1 to 3 * ToWound)

right?

Thanks


p.s. do i also need to explicitly add RandomWound: false for ToWound to work?

`RandomWound`:
  `true` <- mean normal 1-3 wounds calculated like on ufopaedia (more`ToWound` increases only probability)
  `false` <- mean `round(damageThatPassArmor*ToWound)`

And one imporat difference "finall damge" is `(reststs*damage) - armor`, `ToHealth` and `ToWound` are independent, you can do 0 to health but still bleed unit out.

[robin]

  `false` <- mean `round(damageThatPassArmor*ToWound)`

so 10 damage with "ToWound: 3.0" would inflict 30 points of fatal wounds?

[Yankes]

Yes, but if you want you can drop script that will overwrite it in any way you want.

[robin]

powerRangeReduction: 0.1

Does that means the "power" is reduced by 10% each tile after "powerRangeThreshold" ?

[ohartenstein23]

Not by 10%, but by a flat 0.1, or 1 power every 10 tiles.

Hi, Yankes, maybe you are interested in this proposal?

The translator creaked and smoked, but I'm still not sure that everything has been translated correctly.

I usually do not do UI Improvements. Another this I have already long TODO list, and not enough time to finish all thing I want to do.

Side effect of unification of damage handling. Probably ohartenstein23 suggestion to reduce default values will work, not same but usually indistinguishable.
