Template documentation

Summary

Returns the true DPS of a melee weapon or animal i.e. the DPS taking into account the melee verb system introduced in Version/1.1.2610. This value often disagrees with the listed melee DPS in-game but better represents the reality in most cases.

Parameters

The template takes up to tvelve parameters. All of them are optional.

1. A weapon or a pawn. If absent, {{PAGENAME}} will be used.
2. If 1) is a stuffable weapon: The material the weapon is made out of. If absent, the template will assume multipliers of 1 for all stats.
3. If 1) is a weapon with quality: The weapons quality. If absent, the template will assume multipliers of 1 for all stats.
4. If 1) is a weapon: the pawn that wields it. If absent, the template will asume that no pawn wields the weapon.

6. If 4) is present and pawn has at least 1 attacks: The artificial body part that replaces the body part of the pawns second attack, or that provides an additional attack. Provide false if the body part is missing without replacement.
7. If 4) is present and pawn has at least 2 attacks: The artificial body part that replaces the body part of the pawns third attack, or that provides an additional attack. Provide false if the body part is missing without replacement.
8. If 4) is present and pawn has at least 3 attacks: The artificial body part that replaces the body part of the pawns fourth attack, or that provides an additional attack. Provide false if the body part is missing without replacement.
9. If 4) is present and pawn has at least 4 attacks: The artificial body part that replaces the body part of the pawns fifth attack, or that provides an additional attack. Provide false if the body part is missing without replacement.

Calling additional variables

The template defines a lot of useful variables that can be called. Below you can see a full table of them. This also means we can retrace the calculations step by step.

This example is for a human with an archotech left arm, an elbow blade at the right arm, two knee spikes and no teeth wielding a masterwork plasteel longsword.
