Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to deal less damage the farther away from a gun. here is my script:
script.Parent.Parent.RemoteEvents.Shoot.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, FromP, ToP, ToParent)
local Dist = (FromP-ToP).magnitude
print(Dist)
if ToParent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
ToParent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(Dist)
end
end)
Most likely this would be best be done by defining a few variables here.
First, a maximum distance. At what one point will a shot never reach?
Secondly, defining a maximum damage. If shot at point blank, what would maximum damage be?
You could then use a formula like this figure out the damage:
local Damage = (((maximumDistance-actualDistance)/maximumDistance)*maxDamage);
With that in mind, you may also want to use something like math.min to define a minimum damage. If that's something you want, that is.
I'm sure there are more realistic ways, but at a basic level, this will work.
Thanks i will try this out now
This does work but the damage goes down like a arc

Might want to look into this: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/electrical-engineering/ee-electrostatics/ee-electric-force-and-electric-field/a/ee-inverse-square-law
I dont know, maybe if you make a value for distance and look for a value for certain distance
