DualWielder

• Inspired by: Smoothbrain's Dual Wield
• Extracted from: RustyMods' Almanac Class System

DualWielder is a dual wield system that allows players to equip and use two different one-handed weapons simultaneously (e.g., Sword + Axe).

Features

• Custom attach point for the left-hand weapon when holstered (only if dual wielding).
• Option to merge left-hand damage into right-hand attacks (configurable).
• Option to apply a damage modifier to the total damage after combining (configurable).
• Dual Wield skill (DualWielder), which increases damage when dual wielding.

Notes

• If left-hand damage is disabled (Off), then:
  • The damage modifier will not be applied.
  • The Dual Wield skill will not contribute to damage.
• These configs let you balance dual wielding by tuning how much extra damage is gained.
• Stamina use is modified calculating right + left x 0.75
• Eitr use is modified calculating right + left x 0.75

Damage Calculation

1. Left-hand weapon damage is added to the right-hand weapon damage.
2. The total is then scaled by the damage modifier.
3. Finally, the Dual Wield skill is applied as a multiplier.

Formula:

• Modifier = damage scaling factor (0.0 – 1.0).
• SkillFactor = Dual Wield skill percentage (0.0 – 1.0).

Example (Skill 50)

• Combine Weapon Damages: On
• Damage Modifier: 0.5 (50%)
• Dual Wield Skill: 50 (≈ 50% = 0.5 SkillFactor)

Calculation:

1. Base damage = Right + Left
2. Apply modifier = (Right + Left) * 0.5
3. Apply skill = (Right + Left) * 0.5 * (1 + 0.5 * (1 - 0.5))
   • = (Right + Left) * 0.5 * (1 + 0.25)
   • = (Right + Left) * 0.5 * 1.25
   • = (Right + Left) * 0.625

Result: At skill 50, you deal 62.5% of the combined damage.

Example (Skill 100)

• Combine Weapon Damages: On
• Damage Modifier: 0.5 (50%)
• Dual Wield Skill: 100 (≈ 1.0 SkillFactor)

Calculation:

1. Base damage = Right + Left
2. Apply modifier = (Right + Left) * 0.5
3. Apply skill = (Right + Left) * 0.5 * (1 + 1.0 * (1 - 0.5))
   • = (Right + Left) * 0.5 * (1 + 0.5)
   • = (Right + Left) * 0.5 * 1.5
   • = (Right + Left) * 0.75

Result: At skill 100 with DamageModifier 0.5, you deal 75% of the combined weapon damage.
