How do I change the damage of a character when near others?

[GreggZumbari1]

I'm currently trying to make a character who when near other people, does more damage. I already have the code for detecting if someone is near, i'm just not sure as to the command for adding damage, then taking it away when the other player leaves.

Here is my code, ending at the "then" statement:

local function damagefn(inst)
    local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
    local delta = 0
    local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 30, {"player"})
    for k, v in pairs(ents) do
        if v ~= inst then

I'm probably missing something really obvious.

Hi @GreggZumbari1, welcome to the forums!

Perhaps this is what you're looking for?

local function damagefn(inst)
	local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
	local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 30, {"player"})
	inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1 + (#ents - 1) * TUNING.YOURCHARACTERBONUS
end

Yup! Thank you, @alainmcd.
