Damage types are provided as a convenience and a suggestion. Scripters are free to add custom ones for their own combat systems or repurpose the damage type fields.
To make it easy for the community to recognise and re-use custom damage types here is a table that scripters can add onto:
| Flag | Description | Subtype | Creator | System | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DAMAGE_TYPE_MEDICAL | 100 | Negative damage to heal a wound, damaged limb, first aid, etc. Intended for generic healing of biological nature. Positive damage would be medical malpractice | Nexii Malthus | Vertical Sim / SLMC | |
| DAMAGE_TYPE_REPAIR | 101 | Negative damage from repairing an object or something mechanical, welding torch or wrench on a vehicle/robot/mech, etc. Positive damage can be due to mistakes, low skill or sabotage. Intended for generic healing of non-biological nature (e.g. a mechanical tank or an electrical system) | Nexii Malthus | Vertical Sim / SLMC | |
| DAMAGE_TYPE_EXPLOSIVE | 102 | Damage caused by an explosive blast, like a grenade | DAMAGE_TYPE_FORCE | Nexii Malthus | Vertical Sim / SLMC |
| DAMAGE_TYPE_CRUSHING | 103 | Damage caused by crushing. Such as being crushed by water pressure. More of a constant type of force damage — can be nullified/reduced via diving suit | DAMAGE_TYPE_FORCE | Nexii Malthus | Vertical Sim / SLMC |
| DAMAGE_TYPE_ANTI_ARMOR | 104 | Damage caused by anti-tank/anti-armor. Such as from a specialised armor piercing shell, rocket or other munition | DAMAGE_TYPE_PIERCING | Nexii Malthus | Vertical Sim / SLMC |
| DAMAGE_TYPE_SUFFOCATION | 105 | Damage caused by suffocation. Usually lacking a breathable atmosphere, such as from drowning or being in the vacuum of space | Nexii Malthus | Vertical Sim / SLMC |
Caveats
- Calls are throttled to a rate of ≤10/30sec per recipient. Exceptions are:
- Recipient is avatar of the attachment.
- Recipient is sitting on the object.
- Triggering the damage throttle will shout an error to the debug channel and the script will continue running.
- The prim containing the script and the prim receiving the damage must both be in damage enable parcels.
- Targeting a seated avatar will redirect damage to the object the avatar is sitting on.
The on_damage event will NOT be triggered if the source of the damage is either:
- An attachment on the avatar.
- An object or vehicle that the avatar is sitting on.
final_damage will be triggered as normal.
The damage throttle is skipped if:
- Damage is negative.
- The source is an attachment on the avatar.
- The source is an object that the avatar is sitting on.
- The source is an object owned by a parcel owner or land group.
