Lower Crowbar Damage - Garry's Mod

A small script I wrote when I got pissed off with crowbar dealing 50 damage. [release] [b]Q[/b]: What's this? [b]A[/b]: This is a small script that lowers crowbar's inflicted damage from 50 to 15 on players (which means that the crowbar damage dealt to NPCs still will be the same). [b]Q[/b]: How do I install this? [b]A[/b]: Extract to addons, make sure there isn't another 'Crowbar Damage' folder inside the extracted one! [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=92533][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=92533[/img][/url][/release] Please don't write stuff like "THIS IS AMAZING!!!! /sarcasm" or something like that. This small script is for people who would put it to use and not for people who want to say how "AMAZIIING" it is.

It's not amazing. I suggest that you just make a set of console commands for modifying the damage done by every HL2 weapon, now that would be way more useful, and more suitable for general purpose.

[QUOTE=_Kilburn;20495722]It's not amazing. I suggest that you just make a set of console commands for modifying the damage done by every HL2 weapon, now that would be way more useful, and more suitable for general purpose.[/QUOTE] I didn't say it was amazing either. And yes, that is a good idea, I'll try to do it.

[code]hook.Add("PlayerScaleDamage","LowerCrowbarDmg",function(pl,hit,dmg) if dmg:GetInflictor():GetClass() == "weapon_crowbar" then dmg:ScaleDamage(0.3) end end)[/code] I mean, not difficult. But I would do what Killburn said, add some more functionality to it like Convars or a matching Derma that allows you to set these values before releasing.

[QUOTE=Entoros;20498900] Derma that allows you to set these values [/QUOTE] This

Isn't this what the sk_* cvars are for? Or is that just for Player -> NPC damage?

I think thats only Player -> NPC

It's OK. No need to worry about mingebags striking from behind your back.

cant you just stay away from the nutter swinging his crowbar around?

[QUOTE=jack254;20534132]cant you just stay away from the nutter swinging his crowbar around?[/QUOTE] Everybody runs at the same speed Good luck with that

running at the same speed doesnt stop you from staying away from him, and you probably have a gun

It's easier to pursue than it is to run away. How do you know you'll always have a gun to defend yourself with? You're strange. There's no point in arguing over this.

As if it wasn't already on the top for the past few days.
