Ignore Defense/Armor

[icantevenname]

I want to make a weapon that always deals the same amount of damage no matter if the target has armor or not. Is it even possible? I don't think there is a single item in the game that does that.

You could set the damage to 0 and do this:

local function OnAttack(inst,attacker,target)
    if target and target.components.health then
        target.components.health:DoDelta(-20)--replace it with the damage you would like it make
    end
end

--fn()
inst.components.weapon:SetOnAttack(OnAttack)

Nope, the damage is still reduced. Not to mention the stun animation doesn't play at all.

Though, if you take out the minus, you could make something that beats someone to life.

 

Just thought of something, is there a way to force the stun animation every hit?

Try it with this:

local function OnAttack(inst,attacker,target)
    if target and target.components.health then
    	local old_val = target.components.health.currenthealth
        target.components.health:SetVal(old_val - 20)	--replace it with the damage you would like it make
        target:PushEvent("attacked", { attacker = attacker, damage = 0, weapon = inst })
    end
end

--fn()
inst.components.weapon:SetOnAttack(OnAttack)

This should set the value of the health directly to one minus the damage of the weapon.
Not tested, but I think you can just push the event attacked like the fire and icestaff do to have the target play the stun animation.

Not sure about the forcing stunlock each hit, I think if you add stimuli = "stun" to the PushEvent, it will stun every hit. 

target:PushEvent("attacked", { attacker = attacker, damage = 0, weapon = inst, stimuli = "stun" })

Works just right! Even the forced stun!
