Starmade | Damage beam always does minimal range damage
Closed, FinishedPublic
Actions

Description

Damage beams are supposed to do full damage when very close to their target, and then lose most of this damage the further you go.

It seems that this is not the case though, and that all ranges use the least amount of damage.

The config and the actual method to calculate the modifier seems to be correct.
The calculation of your actual beam length seems to not work properly though, it is set to the default range (2000 meters) which will result in the lowest possible damage every time.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Change your config for beams, set the tick rate to 0.99999 and burst time to 1.0, that way you only have a single tick of damage to compare
  2. Fire a decent sized beam at a target when you're close to it (< 500 meters)
  3. Fire a decent sized beam at a target when you're far away from it (> 1500 meters)

Compare both damage holes and they should be identical.
