So I am trying to make more attacks for martial arts, and I am wondering what the results for the code will be.

Code: [Select]

        [ATTACK:PUNCH:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:punch:punches]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
[ATTACK:CHOP:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:chop:chops]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:10]
[ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
[ATTACK:KICK:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:STANCE]
[ATTACK_SKILL:STANCE_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:kick:kicks]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]
[ATTACK:STOMP:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:STANCE]
[ATTACK_SKILL:STANCE_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:stomp:stomps]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:70]
[ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]
[ATTACK:SCRATCH:CHILD_TISSUE_LAYER_GROUP:BY_TYPE:GRASP:BY_CATEGORY:FINGER:NAIL]
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:scratch:scratches]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]
[ATTACK:POKE:CHILD_TISSUE_LAYER_GROUP:BY_TYPE:GRASP:BY_CATEGORY:FINGER]
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:poke:pokes]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:30]
[ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]
So what would happen with the poke.
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:30]

I am trying to make it where it wouldn't cut off limbs, but could be used to attack vitals. Will this work? I never modded before...

Also is their a way to make it where you can only stomp on people smaller then you or laying on the ground. I don't want to be able to stomp on a four story tall mega beast head when they are standing up

Lastly how exactly does the Attack contact percentage and the penetration percentage affect the attack?

[Sergarr]

Well the [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100] means that the attack goes through 100% of limb's area and [ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:30] means that it's penetration ability is 30% from normal (btw penetration matters only for edge attacks). So, lower the contact area the more spear-like the attack be.
for poke, you may try contact_perc 10 and penetration perc 1000. If limbs are flying after that, lower the contact_perc to 1

And no, there is no way to distinguish between an enemy standing or laying on the ground... currently. Maybe in the next version.

Also there is [CV_ADD_TAG:ATTACK_VELOCITY_MODIFIER] to change the velocity of attack, for example [CV_ADD_TAG:ATTACK_VELOCITY_MODIFIER:2500] will make the attack 2.5x faster, and that means it will be stronger.
btw whips have velocity modifier 5000, that and their low contact area make them uberpowerfull.

Thanks dude.

Penetration does matter for blunt attacks. It determines whether a muscle-bone-internal organ ensemble goes "bruised-broken-bruised" or "bruised-broken-lacerated by bone fragments" when hit.

Oh, I didn't knew that, thanks!

[Scionwoods]

Hey guys thanks and everything but is their a way to make it where it depends on the strength of a person as to how deep it cuts or not.

I am trying to make it where if some weakling peasant poked a person the attack would just glance away or just bruise the person, but if a super powerful demigod poked a person they could cut all the way to the heart.

[scamtank]

The penetration value is an upper bound. If you don't have the brawn to cut past the tissue, then you just don't cut past the tissue.

Really? I thought testing showed that it doesn't really matter and velocity is what does that.

[scamtank]

I've been wrong before when I thought I was rock-solid sure, but that's what I've noticed, yeah.

Bash a dwarf's head with a penetration 1 war hammer and he dies of a bruised brain, not a bone-lacerated one. Restore it to normal levels and the skull/rib caves right in and cuts organs. I'll go double-check.

e: informal results:
[ATTACK:BLUNT:20:200:bash:bashes:NO_SUB:2000]
C.O.D. -> bruised muscle, shattered skull, brain torn by skull fragments

[ATTACK:BLUNT:20:2:bash:bashes:NO_SUB:2000]
C.O.D. -> same as above!

[ATTACK:BLUNT:20:0:bash:bashes:NO_SUB:2000]
C.O.D. -> bruised muscle, shattered skull, bruised brain
