Component hit damage proxied to hull

Tue Dec 06, 2005 11:34 am by travorlancer

I was hitting an unshielded Eagle's middle wing. The stats say that the middle wing has 619 hp, but it takes about 1500~1900 damage points to break it, and the remaining ship hp is 81% (8019).

What determines how much damage is transmitted to the main hull and how much is absorbed by the component when a component is hit?

Very good question!

[CollisionGroup
hit_pts = 163 < determines what a components hitpoints are
root_health_proxy = true < causes the root component of the ship to take damage when this component is damaged

[Constants
PLAYER_COLLISION_GROUP_HIT_PTS_SCALE = 3 < the factor the hitpoints of a component is multiplied by
PLAYER_ATTACHED_EQUIP_HIT_PTS_SCALE = 5 < the factor the hitpoints of external equipment is multiplied by

So if would set the "root_health_proxy" entry to false everywhere I could destroy all components without damaging the ship. (theoratically) ?

Yes. And it works. Not that that's a good thing, but it works.
