fireRate

[Aeonic]

Can someone explain this to me? I tried searching these forums but didn't see an answer. How do you know what value to enter for fireRate in order to get the speed you want?

15 = 3.7/second
10 = 6/second
5 = 10/second

I'm sure its pretty obvious, but I seem to be missing something. What's the math behind this? Also, is there a document somewhere that explains how all of these values work?

See fireRate in the weapons modding reference thread.

... and if you are so lazy to go through to post (even if you should do it, if you want to do some weapons modding), here I copied and pasted the relevant part:

Code: Select all

Fire Rate -

Weapon fire has a delay that defines how fast the weapon can be fired. This attribute is fireRate = "[n]". The lower the number is the faster the weapon will fire. All weapons need this attribute to be included in the weapon element. The value is pause time in ticks between 2 shots of the weapon.
(found by Betel) To get the firerate per second as displayed ingame you have to:
60/firerate = firerate per second
if the firerate is odd, add 1 to the firerate (so a firerate of 9 is the same as a firerate of 10) 

and here you can find some Excel pseudocode to calculate the firerate per second:

=IF(ISODD(A1);ROUND(60/(A1+1); 0);ROUND(60/(A1); 0))
