Want to make a damage configuration

[JaccK1618]

How exactly do you make configuration options for damage sources? What do I fill in here in modmain at the ??? (I already set config name to "damage")

local ??? = GetModConfigData("damage")

And then what kind of function would I put in the actual script for the damage?

You can use TUNING
In modmain

TUNING.WP_DAMAGE = GetModConfigData("damage")

In Weapon

inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(TUNING.WP_DAMAGE )

Alright it looks like when I try in game it says the "SetDamage" is a "nil value"

I'm using this script for the damage

    inst:AddComponent("combat")
    inst.components.combat:SetDamage(TUNING.WP_DAMAGE)

I've gotta ask a little: Are you doing this for an item's damage, or a character's damage?

Combat component is for characters, Weapon component is, well, for weapons.

also, that function does not exist; use ...combat:SetDefaultDamage(number) instead of ...combat:SetDamage().
(edit: it exists on weapon, but not combat component.)

For the combat component, you need to use:

inst:AddComponent("combat")
inst.components.combat:SetDefaultDamage(TUNING.WP_DAMAGE)

Alternatively, you could also set it using a multiplier:

inst:AddComponent("combat")
inst.components.combat:SetDefaultDamage(1000)
inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = TUNING.WP_DAMAGEMULTIPLIER

Furthermore, you might want it not to be lethal to players:

inst:AddComponent("combat")
inst.components.combat:SetDefaultDamage(TUNING.WP_DAMAGE)
inst.components.combat.playerdamagepercent = 0.1

I'm not actually sure if it's either, but the original script used "combat" so I'm assuming its for character. If that's the case, is "WP_DAMAGE" correct if it's not a weapon?

Ok so it's not crashing anymore but now it does not deal any damage. The script doesn't indicate it's for a weapon so is "WP_DAMAGE" even right for this?

WP_DAMAGE is just an example, you can use another name, it must be unique, avoid overlapping with other names
If you use TUNING.WP_DAMAGE, try the in-game console and paste this

print(TUNING.WP_DAMAGE)

if your configuration is correct you will see the value of TUNING.WP_DAMAGE, attach your code here if it still doesn't work

Alright I figured it out. I had the variable in the configuration set to "Damage" but the MODMAIN one "damage"
