(UNSOLVED) How can I make the durability effect the damage of my characters weapon?

[TerriFried]

I have already got the item set for tuning, I just want to know how to make the durability (out of 100) affect the damage (out of 40). At the moment the weapon just does the default damage 40.

My config options:

configuration_options = {

{
        name = "wmwbasedamage",
        label = "wand's Damage:",
        options =
        {
            {description = "low", data = 20,hover = "20 Damage"},
            {description = "normal", data = 25,hover = "25 Damage"},
            {description = "high", data = 30,hover = "30 Damage"},
            {description = "higher", data = 35,hover = "35 Damage"},
            {description = "highest", data = 40,hover = "40 Damage"},
        },
        default = 40,
    },

}

 

Much appreciated!

On top of this, what is the code for it to increase my characters movement speed by 10%?

I realized what configuration options meant... so nevermind on that. Also, I figured out how to increase movement speed, so there is that.

Make a function that is activated by attacking

This function should check the durability then adjust the damage 

[Thomas Die]

if the item breaks when it hits 0 or can't be repaired then just have it that when it's used the damage should decrease a bit or how much you want

    inst:AddComponent("weapon")
    inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(100 - inst.dura)
    inst.components.weapon.onattack = onattack

    inst.dura = 0

local function onattack(inst)
       inst.dura = inst.dura + 1
end

The solution to this is in the finiteuses component:

 

function FiniteUses:SetUses(val)
    local was_positive = self.current > 0
    self.current = val
    self.inst:PushEvent("percentusedchange", {percent = self:GetPercent()}) < This is the important line
    if self.current <= 0 then
        self.current = 0
        if was_positive and self.onfinished ~= nil then
            self.onfinished(self.inst)
        end
    end
end

function FiniteUses:GetPercent()  <This is also important
    return self.current / self.total
end

When the item holding the component is used, it pushes an event the item can listen out for. And so all you need is to make it listen:

    inst:ListenForEvent("percentusedchange",  function(inst)
    inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(DAMAGE * inst.components.finiteuses:GetPercent())
end)

Replace "DAMAGE" with whatever you want. the GetPercent just checks what percent of durability the item has left, and the * multiplies the damage by that percentage. So full durability means a 1x modifier, whereas half is a 0.5x modifier. That function belongs right beneath where you state the weapon's damage in its prefab.

is the percentage normally 1

Yup! I tested it all to make sure. The game doesn't really do percentages as percentages - rather as decimals. So 1 is 100%, 0.5 is 50%, etc
