Editing Weapon Damage Formula

{{Incomplete}}

 Gun Damage = PerkModifiers(BaseWeaponDamage * DamageMultiplier * GunConditionPenalty * SkillBonus) + CriticalDamageBonus

 Melee Damage = PerkModifiers(BaseWeaponDamage * DamageMultiplier * MeleeConditionPenalty * SkillBonus + MeleeDamageActorValue) + CriticalDamageBonus

 Unarmed Damage = ''Formula unknown at this time''

'''PerkModifiers''' is a function that modifies the input value using any perks active on the actor that have a "Calculate Weapon Damage" [[Entry Point]] and returns the result. '''Note:''' consumables which increase damage, such as Yao Guai Meat, are implemented by adding a perk to the actor which has a "Calculate Weapon Damage" entry point for the duration of the effect.

'''BaseWeaponDamage''' is specified on the [[Weapons|weapon form]].

'''DamageMultiplier''' = fDamageWeaponMult
:*fDamageWeaponMult defaults to: 1

'''GunConditionPenalty''' = fDamageGunWeapCondBase + (fDamageGunWeapCondMult * WeaponCondition)
:*fDamageGunWeapCondMult defaults to: 0.34
:*fDamageGunWeapCondBase defaults to: 0.66
:*WeaponCondition is 1 at 100% condition, 0.5 at 50% condition, and etc

'''MeleeConditionPenalty''' = fDamageMeleeWeapCondBase + (fDamageMeleeWeapCondMult * WeaponCondition)
:*fDamageMeleeWeapCondMult defaults to: 0.5
:*fDamageMeleeWeapCondBase defaults to: 0.5
:*WeaponCondition is 1 at 100% condition, 0.5 at 50% condition, and etc

'''SkillBonus''' = fDamageSkillBase + (fDamageSkillMult * ActorSkillValue / 100)
:*fDamageSkillBase defaults to: 0.5
:*fDamageSkillMult defaults to: 0.5
:*ActorSkillValue is the actor's skill value with the weapon.

'''MeleeDamageActorValue''' is an [[ActorValue]]. The base value = fAVDMeleeDamageStrengthMult * (ActorStrengthValue + fAVDMeleeDamageStrengthOffset)
:*fAVDMeleeDamageStrengthMult defaults to: 0.5
:*fAVDMeleeDamageStrengthOffset defaults to: 0
:*ActorStrengthValue is the actor's strength value
:The value of the MeleeDamage actor value can be increased or decreased by certain abilities, effects, perks, enchanted armors, and consumables. For example, the "Takoma Park Little Leaguer Cap" has an enchantment which increases melee damage by 5 while a baseball bat is equipped. Wearing this cap while equiping a baseball bat would mean that the base value calculated from strength is further increased by 5.

'''CriticalDamageBonus''' = IsCriticalHit * PerkCritModifiers(CritDamage)
:*IsCriticalHit is 1 if the attack was critical, 0 otherwise
:*'''PerkCritModifiers''' is a function that modifies the input value using any perks active on the actor that have a "Calculate My Critical Hit Damage" [[Entry Point]] and returns the result.
:*CritDamage is the "Crit Dmg" value on the [[Weapons|weapon form]]

=== Notes ===
If the value returned by PerkModifiers is 0, the game engine considers the attack to have missed, even if the bullet physically impacts an actor. No blood spatter is made, no hit sound effect is played, and the attack cannot be a critical hit, even if the critical hit chance is 100% or more.

=== Sneak attack damage ===
It is currently unknown how sneak damage modifiers are applied to the damage formula. Further research is needed. The variables involved appear to be:

*[[fCombatDamageBonusSneakingMult]]
*fCombatDamageBonusMeleeSneakingMult
*fDamageSneakAttackMult
