Modifying weapon attack speed?

[Soopakoopa]

Characters can have their minimum attack period modified, but is there any way at all

to change the attack period multiplier of a specific melee weapon?

Wouldn't it be easier to raise or lower the weapon's damage to get the preferred DPS?

In a way that could work, although the idea is to make it "strong but balanced" in that it could flatten small enemies in a single blow, but

be slow enough that it might not be the best DPS option against larger foes and bosses. Unless there's  a component for damage multipliers against very specific monsters (x 10 against spider/bats, 1-hit ko,  x 1 Against hounds/merms/whatever, x 0.75 against deerclops and various bosses would be a good way to go about it)

I'd suggest using the onqeuip and onunequip functions of the weapon to multiply the player's attack speed when equipped, and put it back to normal when its unequipped.

You could easily do this with a varied function for the weapon's damage.

local function onequip(inst, owner)

------

---------

    owner.components.combat.min_attack_period = (Whatever you want it to be. The higher the number, the slower the attack period.)

end

local function onunequip(inst,owner)

--------

-----------

    owner.components.combat.min_attack_period =  0.4

end

 

 

0.4 is the default attack speed, according to the combat component. Hope this helped.

local function onequip(inst, owner)

------

---------

    owner.components.combat.min_attack_period = (Whatever you want it to be. The higher the number, the slower the attack period.)

end

local function onunequip(inst,owner)

--------

-----------

    owner.components.combat.min_attack_period =  0.4

end

 

Oddly enough, this only seems to work for slowing weapons down.

Yeah, I know.
