[JoanPhoton] BaseDamage=600.0 DamageMultiplier=1.0 BonusTierDamage=1 FireInterval=2.2 DisableTribeAlert=false BlockPlatformBuild=false RifleTorpMultiplier=5.0

[/h1] [olist]See Pinned Topic in discussion for better in-depth explanation. Values cannot be 0, use -1 instead to disable. [*]BaseDamage: Controls Flat damage each shot per FireInterval. (By Comparison: Ark default AutoTurret does 70 flat damage, per 0.35 sec interval. Or 200 DPS). Feel free to adjust yourself. [*]DamageMultiplier: Controls Bonus percentage of BaseDamage that multiplies with added battery stacks. Default value of 1 is 100%, E.g. if BaseDamage = 600, then 3 stacks = 1800 damage. But if DamageMultiplier = 0.5, then 600 x 3 x 50% = 1200 damage per shot. [*]BonusTierDamage: Integer from 1 to 8, default is 1, recommended 1 or 2. (Or -1 to Disable) Controls extra dmg of Target's MaxHp% per shot. Higher = More Dmg. Value chart: Default 1 = (0%, 0%, 5% per battery stack). 2 = (0%, 5%, 10% per stack). 3 = (5%, 10%, 15% per stack) and so on. This percent hp dmg is meant to counter insanely high health dinos. [*]FireInterval: Sentry firing delay in seconds. Higher shoots slower and vice versa. [*]DisableTribeAlert: Default false announces pvp alert message to all tribe members when shot at enemy player, displaying enemy player name and tribe. Set true to disable this feature. [*]BlockPlatformBuild: Set true forces sentry unable to build on platform saddles. Default false allows. [*]RifleTorpMultiplier: Controls Rifle Gun Torpor per shot. Default 5.0 = 2,000 Torpor per shot. Scales with value, each adjust by 1.0 will raise / lower Torp by 400. (E.g. value 10.0 = 4,000 Torp)[/olist]
