IIRC, you change the shield damage line to -(1/2 hull damage line); of course, that means it won't do any shield damage, either

If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I'm pretty sure that's it

Chris

so if i have

energy_damage = 200
hull_damage = 400


this gun will not affect shields in anyway at all????

Actually, change it to 1, If you don't won't any damage. If it it set to 0 then it will automaticly be 1/2 of the hull damage. If you specify the amount, 200, then that is what it will do, therefore, if you want min damage, set to 1.

ok, ill try that now.

that doesnt seem to work

Hull damage = whatever you like

Usually energy damage = half of hull damage...soo.......

To get rid of that half of the hull damage value, you just subtract it

hull_damage = 20000
energy_damage = -10000


Now you get a 20000 hull, 0 energy damage. Cast iron garuntee that this works.

I'll just use Chips post so you think he said this...
Try this trick

hull_damage = -1

Chips is absolutely correct. Finalday is wrong. =)

If you make the shield damage 1, it actually still does 1/2 the hull damage, plus 1.

Formula: actual shield damage = 1/2 hull_damage + shield_damage

In addition, there are modifers that are in the weaponmoddb.ini file, and also the 1/2 hull constant in the constants.ini file.

thanks chips/baked, reliable as ever. thanks also for extra info wasabe

@Chips:
hull_damage = -1
ROFL
i remember the times when i tried to make a "repair gun".
hull_damage = -100 was it...
well, ironically it IS repair - in a rather indirect way (respawn) lol.
