Melee Weapons Damage Reset on Play

[cloud03]

Hi all,

I've encountered an issue, my melee weapon damage value always resets to 2 on play, whatever values I put on in inspector, does any one have a solution for this?

Did you apply the modifications to the prefab?

[cloud03]

I didn't, I only set the value inside the Damage Option under the vMelee Weapon Component. Is there any other component that can change this setting?

here is the view of the prefabs settings.

you r instantiating wrong prefab

[cloud03]

nope, I've check it, there is only one instance of that prefabs in the project.

Hi,

You have any custom script? if you have, try disabling them one by one.

If you set a value less than 2, it change anyway? I don't think, but maybe there is a maximum value.

If you're using an ItemManager, you need to set the attribute as well.

This is what I've set in the item list 


but somehow the damage value still resets to 2.

And I'm not using any custom scripts/component on the melee weapon prefabs.

Jader: I just tried changing to 1, and it reset back to 2 during playing the scene.

I have an idea. Can you open your player game object, scroll to the item manager script, and on the weapon's slot there's a small button on to it's right that says "Change attributes".When you click it, a list of attributes will appear. Can you check what the damage value appears there is ? 

The values you put here override the original values, and I have a feeling that's what you've done.

Wow, that is exactly the issue, it was set to 2, and when I reset it, it sets back to the value I'm using which is 10, but the question if I change the damage in the item list attribute, do I need to reset it again, or it will automatically change?

Thanks a lot for pointing that out, awesome community you got here Invector

Been there a few times xD

I believe it should automatically change when you reset it. Or simply deleting and re-adding the item in the item manager script should be enough. If it doesn't work I do something a bit overkill but I think this should help

01. Reset the attribute in the item manager, then delete the item from the item manager.
02. Go to the Item List Data file, open the item and delete the Damage attribute. close open again and add the attribute.
03. Go back to the item manager and add the item. Hopefully from now on it'll be directly picking up from the item manager.

In my experience, once you click change attributes, it's always overridden via the item manager. So simply deleting the item and re-adding will update the reference inside the item manager, but you can't be too careful xD I don't trust scriptable objects sometimes no matter how useful they are haha.
