Can someone modify a file to make the hammer in the stock "Half circle arena" mortal?

I think is too big and does almost no damage, I been looking and playing with the files but i can't find the one that sets how damage a hazard inflicts.

I could use that someone make, or told me how to, the hammer stronger, maybe enought that it can KO a LW bot, and inflict serious damage to a HW.

Please?:-D

It's definately do-able, I've known people to do similar things, but I'm not sure what I'm editing.

Thank you.

I'll wait for an expert on editing :-)

Be sure to make a backup first before modding...

To increase damage all you really need to do is change the .8 in this line to something higher...

Code: [Select]

self.SetSubMaterialSound("Hammer", "metal", .8, "Sounds\\hzd_hammer_thud.wav")
This function makes the specified sound play whenever the "Hammer" hits something, assigns the material to "metal" (only other choices are "rubber" and "arenium"), and how much damage it inflicts (I'm not sure what the relationship between this value and the actual damage is but it generally doesn't need a big, huge number to deal large amounts of damage).

^^yep^^ Thanks, Trov. (you deserve a raise)...
Watch out though, cause Spyguy will nail you for long answers... (though I like them).

My input:
Just remove the decimal:

Code: [Select]

self.SetSubMaterialSound(&quot;Hammer&quot;, &quot;metal&quot;, [COLOR=red].8[/COLOR], &quot;Sounds\\hzd_hammer_thud.wav&quot;)
self.SetSubMaterialSound(&quot;Hammer&quot;, &quot;metal&quot;,  [COLOR=red]8[/COLOR], &quot;Sounds\\hzd_hammer_thud.wav&quot;)

Bwahahahaha!!!!!

Madiaba · « **Reply #6 on:** October 30, 2009, 09:37:48 PM »

"half" python file.

Tigermisu · « **Reply #7 on:** October 30, 2009, 09:40:41 PM »

JoeBlo · « **Reply #8 on:** October 30, 2009, 11:23:27 PM »

8 ?? mad your way to kind try 500 :evil:

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 30, 2009, 11:37:41 PM »

I like over powered spikes

:roll:

JoeBlo · « **Reply #10 on:** October 30, 2009, 11:50:15 PM »

yeah :P

or like the Dreadzone arena I made out of the Octagon

Madiaba · « **Reply #11 on:** October 30, 2009, 11:57:56 PM »

-500? :Confused:

-Nice spikes, Duck.

-You guys (Joe/Duck/Wham/...) need to keep up your gmf and py work until you can understand and do just about anything....:biggrin:

JoeBlo · « **Reply #12 on:** October 31, 2009, 12:15:54 AM »

makes the hazards more hazardous :P

I made the Crushers of the Compressor arena kill in about 2-3 hits because I figured that was a little more realistic

On the subject of crappy hazards:
I've always wondered since I got RA2: What do those buttons in the corners of the Electric Arena do?
They have the sz thingies and it shows them in the intro, but I've tried for a while and can't get them to seem to do anything.

Pwnator · « **Reply #14 on:** October 31, 2009, 08:17:46 AM »

Since the game is unfinished, those SZs are probably for activating the lightning hazard whether bots are in there or not.

I think, don't quote me on this, but I heard they only work if there are more than 2 bots in the arena.

Amazing...

How could I make the flamethrowers in the DSL Robot wars arena/claw top arena more dangerous? They take ages to burn down a bot.....

Edit: yeah i wonder why those buttons are for.

Hazards.py in the Arenas folder. These are the python files for the hazards ofcourse.

Code: [Select]

plus.damage(compinfo[0], compinfo[1], 40, (compinfo[2], compinfo[3], compinfo
Find Flame and look for that.

Electricity is also in there.

cephalopod · « **Reply #18 on:** October 31, 2009, 02:29:54 PM »

I've just had an idea. I was just editing flames like you guys spoke about, and I know people once discussed a Sumo arena, well could you put flame jets in a circle, make the robots start in the circle, then make the flame damage so high that it's an instant KO?

Is this anything like a good idea? Anyhow... wrong thread, I know.

Red: Thanks for helping out.

Craig, Tiger: Here are a couple example tweeks using the flames (location, movement, potency)and a couple other Hazards:
