Hey there!

I'm trying to do as the subject stats to affect the damage of the attack ability. I can get the velocity and angular velocity of the controller as it collides.. but I have no clue how to translate that into a multiplier.

Let's say I have a threshold of 100%. The velocity of 0-10% do nothing. 11%-30% = x.75 multiplier. 31%-60% = 1 multiplier. 61%-80% = 1.25 .. and 81%-100% = 1.5% ..

I'm trying to use this with direct damage and damage zones and I've spent about three days trying to make this work.

Any insight would appreciated.

Thanks!

You can set the damage multiplier of the action using a Damage Multiplier node. Alternatively you can also set the damage factor in the Calculate node. Damage multiplier/factor both work in the same way, e.g. 1 is normal damage, 2 is double damage, etc.

You'll somehow need to translate the velocity from a Vector3 to a float value and use that to determine the multiplier based on your needs. Store it into a game variable and use the variable in the steps mentioned above.

Awesome, that's what I needed to know. I've found a way through Playmaker to get that value into a float. I appreciate you giving me the final pieces to that puzzle!
