Character weapon-specific damage multipliers

[KirbyJParasol]

Aiight, so here's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to code a character so that he has a global damage penalty of 0.89. That's simple enough, just toss this in:

inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 0.89

HOWEVER

I'm trying to make a long-range specialist, who gets a x3 multiplier on the boomerang and the blow dart. My problem is, I don't know how to make this multiplier weapon specific! I've tried reverse engineering a handful of mods to get to to work, but it's such a nasty hodge-podge that I've finally decided to ask the much more experienced community for some pointers. How do I go about this?

    inst:ListenForEvent("equip", function()
        local equippedwep = inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS)
        if equippedwep ~= nil and equippedwep:HasTag("projectile") then
            inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1.11
        else
            inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 0.89
        end
    end)

-----

If you want it for other things other than projectile, for example thrown(most thrown weapons have projectile tag too), this should work;

if equippedwep ~= nil and (equippedwep:HasTag("projectile") or equippedwep:HasTag("thrown"))  then

Won't that code affect all players? or is that intended (I wouldn't like that debuff ... )

that code is put in the player's prefab file, such as webber.lua or customcharacter.lua, so no it won't

It will affect all players...who play as this specific modded character

Well yeah, I meant all characters, and I'm sure he did as well
