Questions on CCI

[pWn3d]

Is there somewhere a more advanced Tutorial on CCI, or at least a list of functions + their Arguments?

The basic Tutorial included with CCI helps at the beginning but a lot of questions will be unanswered.

Does anybody know any of this?:

How *exactly* does damage work? Yeah, there is a damage formula (which i understand how it works), but how does Damage Radius work?
The function "setWeaponXPM( float );" seems only to change the graphical radius of an explosion. Is there a way to manipulate the damage radius?

What exactly do the ATK% and DEF% values of a ECX char do?
Do they increase all damage (beam+melee) or reduce all incoming damage by the given % ? Just Melee?
I tried setting ATK to 10000.0, didn't seem to do anything?

Are there somewhere sources of complex Chars/specials available?

As far as i know the actual damage radius is capped in ECX. To prevent the whole "Lets kill the entire server off with a single generic beam when in SSJ3 form"

I do think there is a svar multiplier that kinda does it instead. Sadly i dont know what it is.

As for the attack or defense % thing. Personally i think thats only part of melee combat. But heck i never used the CCI. Might want to ask Raven about it, since he is the one who was in charge of ECX.

the only thing you can change is the explosion radius of a beam attack there is no way to change the damage output of the beams there set in the core Code of ecx i beleve

atk% and def% is indeed only for melee actions.
Since you can change the atk% in the core.weapon for beams and blast in damage formula.

i believe setweaponDMG can moderately change damage for beams
