Regarding the weapon to hit modifier formula. How would i go about capping it at some point ?

I want a gun that gets a to hit bonus when being away from the target:

[%Range%] / 2


However, i want it to be capped at 25 or what.

If you look on page 53 of the modding doc, you will see some useful functions. Min is what you want in this case. It will return the smaller of the two values.

Min([%Range%] / 2, 25)

As he wants a cap, he would need a MAX function .. if there's any (dunno, never read that doc). ;-)

Max would provide a minimum value. (It never goes below X)
Max( X , SomeValue) Returns the bigger of the two.

Min provides a maximum value. (It never goes above X)
Min( X , SomeValue) Returns the smaller of the two.

Ah, the trap of function naming. Catches up everyone when they first think about using Min and Max functions. Gotta love reverse logical thinking.
