Title: What is Frequency (in txt)
Post by: 123savethewhales on January 31, 2010, 09:12:58 PM: So what does this mean when it's in a weapon txt?

frequency = 10

Specifically I would like to know how that translates into seconds, so I can have a sense of how to include this while maintaining balance in the game.

I don't know how frequency = 1 and frequency = 10 are any different. I fiddled with it a bit while I was making That Darn Dustpan's saw blade, hoping that a high frequency would make more rapid hits and therefore more sparks, but a higher frequency didn't seem to do anything.
