[GUIDE] Mann vs Machine Attributes - by Turbo Lover

So while I was complaining about attaching hats in MvM in chat, Turbo Lover decided to tell me some things about how bot attributes work. Note that this is a Steam conversation, so it's not as in-depth as his full guide will be (when that guide comes out, I'll lock this thread and link to his instead).

This is the full list of attributes in TF2: http://pastebin.com/nPphenm1

Note: I've removed the Steam chat formatting for ease of reading; each 'paragraph' is a separate message.

Here's a sample picture, provided by TL:



If you have any questions about this, feel free to message TL on Steam.

 

It's totally ridiculous that some things are regular and others are inverted. Good to have this spelled out.

I copy pasted a space. And now that I have an actual space bar, I'll get on writing this up proper.

 

It's not inverted. Both the example values are used with multiplication. They are ratios. You multiply the damage with a value bigger than 1 to boost it and you multiply the fire interval with a value lower than 1 to scale it down. The attribute names reflect this. The "mult" prefix is used for both of these, since it is a base number that is multiplied with a factor.

The real thing here is that for some attributes lower is better while others have the opposite of higher being better.

 

Turbo's just written his guide, yay! Here's the link: http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=20732
