Damage is calculated by summing base damage, and then applying all [#damage-modifiers](#damage-modifiers "mention").

#### Base\_Damage

The amount of damage before any damage modifiers are applied.

#### Base\_Explosion\_Damage

The amount of damage the [Explosion](/weaponmechanics/weapon-modules/explosion.md) deals (at the center of the explosion).

#### Fire\_Ticks

Lights the damaged entity on fire for a set amount of time (time in ticks). For example, `Fire_Ticks: 100` will light the entity on fire for 5 seconds if a projectile from this weapon OR the explosion hits it).

#### Enable\_Owner\_Immunity

Use `true` to prevent the shooter from taking damage from their shots. This makes the shooter immune to their own [Explosion](/weaponmechanics/weapon-modules/explosion.md).

#### Ignore\_Teams

By default, guns will respect teams that prevent damage (Teams are added by Minecraft using the `/team` command). Use `Ignore_Teams: true` to enable friendly fire.

#### Armor\_Damage

Defines how much damage to apply to the victim's armor. You probably want this number to be small, like `1` or `2`.

#### Mechanics

The mechanics to trigger when damaging an entity. Use the [Mechanics](https://cjcrafter.gitbook.io/mechanics/) wiki.

* `@Source{}` -> The shooter.
* `@Target{}` -> The entity being damaged (the victim).

#### Head

* `Bonus_Damage` -> Defines how much additional damage head shots deal.
* `Mechanics` -> Mechanics to trigger after a head shot.
  * `@Source{}` -> The shooter.
  * `@Target{}` -> The entity who was shot in the head.

#### Body

* `Bonus_Damage` -> Defines how much additional damage body shots deal.
* `Mechanics` -> Mechanics to trigger after a body shot.
  * `@Source{}` -> The shooter.
  * `@Target{}` -> The entity who was shot in the chest.

#### Legs

* `Bonus_Damage` -> Defines how much additional damage leg shots deal.
* `Mechanics` -> Mechanics to trigger after a leg shot.
  * `@Source{}` -> The shooter.
  * `@Target{}` -> The entity who was shot in the legs.

#### Feet

* `Bonus_Damage` -> Defines how much additional damage a foot shot deals.
* `Mechanics` -> Mechanics to trigger after a foot shot.
  * `@Source{}` -> The shooter.
  * `@Target{}` -> The entity who was shot in the foot.

#### Backstab

Backstabs happen whenever the damage source comes from behind (In the $$180^{\circ}$$ area behind the victim).

* `Bonus_Damage` -> Defines how much additional damage a foot shot deals.
* `Mechanics` -> Mechanics to trigger after a foot shot.
  * `@Source{}` -> The shooter.
  * `@Target{}` -> The entity who was backstabbed.

#### Critical\_Hit

* `Chance` -> Chance for a critical hit. Use `100` for 100% chance.
* `Bonus_Damage` -> Defines how much additional damage a foot shot deals.
* `Mechanics` -> Mechanics to trigger after a foot shot.
  * `@Source{}` -> The shooter.
  * `@Target{}` -> The entity who was critically hit.

#### Kill

* `Mechanics` -> Mechanics to trigger after a foot shot.
  * `@Source{}` -> The shooter.
  * `@Target{}` -> The entity who was shot in the foot.

#### Damage\_Modifiers

The [#damage\_modifiers](#damage_modifiers "mention") to override the base damage modifiers (Defined in the `config.yml`).

#### Explosion.Damage\_Modifiers

The [#damage\_modifiers](#damage_modifiers "mention") to override the base damage modifiers but for explosions (Defined in the `config.yml`).

#### Dropoff

Defines how much projectile travel distance will increase or decrease damage.

* `travel distance`
  * How far must the projectile go before this dropoff activates?
  * If the projectile has traveled `9` blocks and this list only has `10 -3`, then damage won't be decreased by `3` since that `10` blocks wasn't reached.
  * See [#100](https://github.com/WeaponMechanics/MechanicsMain/issues/100) if you want a "smooth" dropoff instead.
* `damage amount`
  * The amount to increase (`+`) or decrease (`-`) damage.
  * This number should probably *always* be negative since you want projectiles to deal less damage
