How to find currently equipped weapon damage?

[SenL]

If I equip an item, I would like to know the damage.

Is there a way?

Thanks.

Well. Exist the Damage Indicators. It's an server side mod.

Thanks. Looked at the mob and it's doing this:

local amount = (data.newpercent - data.oldpercent) * inst.components.health.maxhealth

Well... that would work but is that the only way to tell currently-equipped weapon base damage?

Tracking where the displayed damage is coming from seems to lead to components/combat.lua:616

local weapondamage = weapon.components.weapon.damage or 0

Hm, how do you access that from character inst?

[Muche]

weapon = playerinst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS)

Works. Thanks much!

Note: weapon will be nil if player is not wielding anything. This is fine.

Well yes, that was just the direct way, without any sanity checks; e.g. weapon.components.weapon can be nil as well if the held item is not a weapon.
