How do I set a projectile to do more damage to a bot?

[King Tøny]

I have projectile check events but there is no bot function.

I tried variables but it doesn't seem to work.

I'm trying to get projectiles to do more damage than a normal projectile to a specific bot.

you need to use code. package projectile::onDamage and have it check if the hitmask is a bot. if true, add damage or multiply and parent the function.

[PhantOS]

it might actually be projectile::damage but idk

[King Tøny]

you need to use code

There is no variable?

[King Tøny]

I need silver bullets to deal damage to specific types of bots.

[PhantOS]

you need to overwrite functions in code.

[Kyuande]

There is no variable?

I'm not so sure what you're really looking for, but projectile damage variable was never a thing, you have to make an add-on that will do this for you.

I could have sworn this existed.

But what is the VARIABLE so I can use VCE

[Goth77]

projectile damage is (usually) defined in the datablock of a projectile, so it cannot be directly modified in-game

HOWEVER

You can hook into armor::damage and make sure you are hitting a bot, then check to see if the projectile is a certain damageType and reduce or increase the %damage as needed

Here would be a quick example script

function Armor::Damage(%this, %obj, %sourceObject, %position, %damage, %damageType)
{
    Parent::Damage(%this, %obj, %sourceObject, %position, %damage, %damageType);

    //Make sure we are hitting a bot
    if(%obj.getClassName() $= "AIPlayer")
    {
        //Default sword does double damage
        if(%damageType $= "Sword")
        {
               %damage *= 2;
        }
    }
}

there are other ways to achieve the same effect such as using projectile::damage as phantos suggested

[Conan]

if you call the parent prior to changing the damage its not going to have an effect...

[Goth77]

oops, thanks conan

function Armor::Damage(%this, %obj, %sourceObject, %position, %damage, %damageType)
{
    //Make sure we are hitting a bot
    if(%obj.getClassName() $= "AIPlayer")
    {
        //Default sword does double damage
        if(%damageType $= "Sword")
        {
               %damage *= 2;
        }
    }
    Parent::Damage(%this, %obj, %sourceObject, %position, %damage, %damageType);
}
