Cover table: damage modifier bugged?

I am trying to make a shotgun for the game but to enable so it does not wipe out squads in cover, I was adjusting the cover table damage modifiers under the weapons tab. It seemed like when I was adjusting the values nothing was changing. Then I tried to even try to do ludicrous amount of damage to all forms of cover over but still the base damage was only applied. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?

I have never attempted anything of the like before.

However, do note that several weapons have the tendency to ignore cover, if the attacker moves too close (within 10 yards range). The flag that allows a weapon to ignore cover at close ranges is called "Point Blank" and is under the Behaviour set of options for your shotgun.

Since you are trying to implement a short-range weapon, that is the first culprit I would look out for.

Set Point Blank to False for your shotgun, and let us know how that went!

You have a great idea that improves the QoL aspects of the game? Please, drop your idea here:

Looks like point blank was the cause, I can make a work around but I can not really disable point blank because of onmi-directional cover such as a crater or a bush. A could be in arms length, in the same crater but cover bonus is still in effect. As much I try to test with numbers, it is hard to tell whether it is balanced or not since people use units differently. Right now the shotguns have a max range of 20, same as a flamethrower but they do reduced damage to units in cover, unless point blank is in action. They will also have a small aoe damage. The design of this weapon is to be a effective flanking weapon of enemies that are bunched up. Also if your were wondering about the animation/projectile, I used the Greyhound canister shot.

Are you also using the cone AoE that starts on the firing entity, or just a circular AoE at the impact point? Asking because I noticed the option for the former exists, but Relic doesn't use it, and was curious if you were and how it was working out.

I use circle, I just tried to use "pie," and it did not work. I set the angles to 10, radius to 1 and damage to 200. Then using cheat mod commands 2 I spawned a thick group of enemies. The result was only one model dying no matter where they were in the group with no additional damage.

SHOUT IT OUT!

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
Today, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Today, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
Today, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
Today, 09:30 AM

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.

Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM

Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.

Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned.
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM

Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying...

aerafield: @adamírcz aren't the first two disconnects free every day?
14 Mar 2025, 19:26 PM

Rosbone: It is so unlike Relic to punish its fans and community.
14 Mar 2025, 12:07 PM

adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic

Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
