Title: beam damage
Post by: Carl on September 15, 2003, 04:52:32 am

this has always been a bit of a problem. we had figured out that a beam delivers damage six times per second. why six, i don't know. so if you want your beam to have a damage of 1500, you'd enter 250 in the $Damage field. but now after installing FS2_Open, it seems to have increased the number of times damage is applied per second significanty. perhaps 100 or so. anyone know what the new number is?

Hmm. Hadn't noticed this. Not a clue, sorry.

Try this:

Code: [Select]

+ShrinkFactor: 0.1 ;; what percentage of lifetime where beam starts shrinking (0.1 == 10% life left)
+ShrinkPct: 1.8 ;; what percentage of max width we subtract per second
