Modding weapon accuracy.

What formulas did you try and use to get it to rise adn drop? The one that comes to mind for that is a power formula, though I don't think you can do linear shifts with it. Either that, or use a combination of IIF conditionals to have two seperate formulas.

You need to make a parabolic formula y=-1*(x^2)/8 or something like that... but It's been too long from any math class I've taken... I can't figure out how to displace the curve on the X axis. Right now that curve places the high point of the curve at 0,0 and you want the high point at about 3 or 4.

As a side note I kind of like the parabolic drop off of the chance to hit, rather that a liner drop off.

I've got something that might work...

(-1*([%Range%]^2)/5)+[%Range%]

This produces at parabola with it's peak at about 2, right now it actually peaks and would be giving you a 12% bonus at range 2. You can play around at fine tune the numbers. I'm using devnull's editor with that formula wizard it has. it's pretty cool.

First thing to keep in mind is that 0 = no modifier, you using the base chance to hit. In stock, that's 100%. Here's how iif statements work: iif(This, then, else). If This is true, it does Then. Otherwise it does Else. So: iif([%Range%] < 20, -20, -10) will make a weapon that has a -20% modifier at ranges less than 20, and a -10% at all other ranges. he dropoff you posted above could be done like so: iif([%Range%] < 30, (-30 + [%Range%]), (0 - ([%Range%] - 30))) What this does: if the range is less than 30, it uses the forumla -30 + the range. At or above 30 it uses the formula 0 - the range - 30. the tricky part is this: you can refer to other iif statements inside an iff! That gets really confusing, really fast so you want to avoid doing it where possible.

apparently SEV can't "parse" my formula. I'm not sure what exactly that means. I guess it means the formula is too complicated??? Does anyone else have any thoughts?

Why have the ability to input formulas if there's a point where the formula is too complicated?

The "parse"ing problem was acutally due to the SEV needing spaces in the formula. You can do complex formulas. I suppose you could do iif statements also but this formula produces what your looking for:

(-1 *(([%Range%] ^2)/ 50)+ (1.5 * [%Range%])) - 27.88

this produces a:

10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 distance
-15 -6 -1 0 -3 -10 -21 -36 -55 -78 -105 accuracy%

SEV is really piicky about formulas. Add extra spaces wehver they could POSSIBLY fit and it generally fixes the problem... generally.

Try "forcing" an absolute value based equation.

(("x"^2)^(1/2)) where X is range-40 for example, would produce a linear form of the above equation.
