Damage Types?

[Kana]

I haven't tried, I was just wondering, it is a formula line, I was just wondering what kind of syntax would be usable on that line. Currently the only ones I've seen are the "quoted" variety.

Any syntax that results in a quoted damaged type works. That means you mostly have to use If statements.

Say you have damage types A, B, and C.

1+1 would not be a valid formula. iif(1+1 > 2, "A", "B") would be. That formula would always return damage type B, but you get the idea.

A more useful formula is iif([%Level%] > 5, "A", "B"). That'll make the weapon do damage type A levels 1-5, and B thereafter.

So you are basically saying you can have one or the other in damage types on that given line, not both?

I wouldn't say the ability to create damage types is completely nerfed, for example I can create custom types with specific effects versus a single component or facility or armor type etc. That's still a decent feature to have.

Your right, I just didnt really see it that way...yet it would be nice to be able to combine more than one effect at the same time.

Kana, do you recall Shear Planes? I think I just figured out how to make them break tractors.

Right. As far as I can tell, SE5 only allows one damage type to be applied at a time.

Yet again, my simple submunitions suggestion way back when, would have been allowing all this and more...

[se5a]

that would have been cool.
