Can someone explain to me how to build a verse code making the chug cannon heal players for 100 health or any number greater than what it already does? like what devices do I use to make it work.
You can’t “directly” mess with weapon stuff BUT you can work your way around it.
Specifically subscribe to the HealedEvent, and then conditionalbutton check if the source of the heal was holding the chug cannon, then you can adjust the target player’s health accordingly
Keep in mind this method is not foolproof and can be abused since by the time the healing is applied (eg till the chug cannon projectile lands people could switch weapons, or even heal in some other way AND then switch to a chug cannon at the same time to benefit from bonus heals), Would heavily recommend to heavily test that whatever implementation you do it’s not abusable (unless you don’t mind that much)
Hello, as far as I know there is not a way to make it fully reliable or clean to detect this, because we can’t cast the weapons in healing result or damage result to a type like the cannon.
There is a “hacky” way of doing it with conditional button and a custom device. This implies that it would only work while the player is holding the cannon in hand.
Here is the script.
using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
using { /Fortnite.com/Game }
using { /Fortnite.com/Characters }
chug_device := class(creative_device):

ExtraHeal : float = 50.0

You would need to add a conditional button, set the key item to the chug cannon and set the reference to this in the custom_device.
