Questions about monster

[Sentielo]

Hello Otland,

I have some questions about the monster formula melee and distance skills.

First of all, about the melee skill. If it looks like this:

<attack name="melee" interval="2000" skill="24" attack="16"/>

What does the skill "24" mean and what does the attack "16" mean in a formula? How do I know the minimum damage and the maximum damage?

I got the same question for distance fighting, most of the distance fighting spells looks like the following:

<attack name="physical" interval="1000" chance="10" range="7" min="-5" max="-40">
<attribute key="shootEffect" value="throwingknife"/>

Isn't it able to make it with skill and attack too? If so, please say how.

Remember, helping me out, will bring otland to a better monsterpack. (see the link bellow).

Thanks in advance,
Sentielo

More:

int32_t Weapons::getMaxMeleeDamage(int32_t attackSkill, int32_t attackValue)
{
	return (int32_t)std::ceil((attackSkill * (attackValue * 0.05)) + (attackValue * 0.5));
}

This is called when you use skill/attack.

Yeah elf already told me that =) Thanks again.

So at the end is it the same to use skill/atk than min/max when it comes to this? Like its useless to use skill/atk or its better?

I got confused through the discussion

 

[Sentielo]

I think that "skills/attack" is better than "min/max".
I know how the formula works, so I will add that to my monsterpack (see link below).

From reading this, if Cykotitan is correct then it is much easier to use min and max as you wont have to calculate approximate damage for monsters, however if you used a simple spreadsheet to create some examples it wouldnt make too much difference.
