Getting Weapon's damage?

[InstantDeath]

I'm looking for a function call that will return the value of the weapon's damage that the current player is holding through [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Player.GetActiveWeapon]Player.GetActiveWeapon [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b] but am unable to find one. Similar to SWEP.Primary.Damage, but I want it to work for non-sweps as well.

Mostly the damage is dynamic, you gotta hook into some damage hook and read the damage from the damage data.

[lua]
Player:GetActiveWeapon().Primary.Damage
[/lua]

It's the only way I think.

i think that only works for sweps.

[gamemodes\gmodrpg\gamemode\shared.lua:131] attempt to index field 'Primary' (a nil value)

oh and what about those console commands..you know the sk_plr_dmg_* commands, do they work in multiplayer? because unless garry hardcoded the dmg values at some point, they should work.

Try:
[lua]Player:GetActiveWeapon().Primary().Damage()[/lua]

Not 100% sure, but worth a try.

I can guarantee that will error.

Yes, it only works for SWEPs.

but what about the sk_plr_dmg_* commands? are they actually used for base dmg values?

edit: it does not appear to be so, ar2 did 11 dmg per hit, and shogun did 8, while the value for ar2 was set to 8 and shotgun was set to 4.
looks like i will have to pre-get the values before hand by testing each weapon
