Oblivion talk:Traps/Confirmation on Data

This is an archive of past Oblivion talk:Traps discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page, except for maintenance such as updating links.

As plenty of data on traps can't be read literally from the Construction Set, here is an overview of the data I worked with.

Physical Damage calculation

Conditions

• Using the console command "setlevel" to test different levels.
• Test trap are the Swinging Blades close to the entrance/exit of Lindai01.
• Using the console command "tdt" to measure the exact health values.

Conclusions

• Damage is calculated the moment you're hit, and is based on your character's level at that moment.
• Damage is calculated for each actor. The skeletons who were so nice to get hit received damage dependent on their level.
• Damage = fTrapDamage + fLevelledDamage * Level.

"fTrapDamage" and "fLevelledDamage" are both variables set in the trap object's scrip.

Test data

According to ARTrapSwingBladeFAST01SCRIPT:
fTrapDamage = 20
fLevelledDamage = 1.5

Level	Damage
1	21.50
2	23.00
3	24.50
4	26.00
5	27.50
10	35.00
15	42.50
20	50.00
25	57.50
50	95.00
75	133.50
100	170.00
