How I make a character not receieve armor bonus when armor is equipped?

[Schulliya]

Hi, I want to make my custom character not to gain armor. I think I can do this adding a component post init, but I'm not sure how...

In the Inventory:ApplyDamage function there's this:

local absorbers = {}
    for k, v in pairs(self.equipslots) do
        if v.components.resistance ~= nil and
            v.components.resistance:HasResistance(attacker, weapon) and
            v.components.resistance:ShouldResistDamage() then
            v.components.resistance:ResistDamage(damage)
            return 0
        elseif v.components.armor ~= nil then
            absorbers[v.components.armor] = v.components.armor:GetAbsorption(attacker, weapon)
        end
    end

This is what you want to change. Either you have to override your character's inventory ApplyDamage function or create a custom inventory component which does the same.

why is this inside the inventory component?

It uses all the equipped items to calculate the damage reduction percent, so it (kind of) makes sense for it to be in inventory
