How to deal more damage the closer something is?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m making a gun script right now and I have 2 values, 1 called “MaxDamage” which is the max damage it can deal when the person hit is right up close and 1 called “MinDamage” which is the min damage it can deal when the person hit is at the farthest range of the bullet.

How would I make it so that the player hit gets dealt more damage the closer they are to the person who shot them and less the farther away?

Check out Magnitude in the wiki:

I already use that, but what is the formula to make it deal MORE damage the CLOSER it is.

Current % code to find how how close it was to its max range.

((hitPoint-script.Parent.Position).magnitude)/stats.Range.Value

if distance <= 20 damage = 100
elseif distance <= 50 damage = 80
elseif distance <= 70 damage = 50
end

Something like that?

Or range / magnitude = damage

BaseDamage * (maxDistance - Magnitude) If there’s a limit to how far you go
