Damage and Armor
====================

.. note::
  This feature available starting at 1.8.0 asset version 

RTS Kit includes tool named **Damage Table**. This table stores data about all damage and armor types in game.

Number values in the table are damage scaling coefficients from every damage to every armor.

This table file should be stored in ``Resources/Data`` folder with name ``DamageTable.csv``.

How to work with Damage Table?
********************************************
So, you can edit this file in any csv editor or even in the your IDE/notepad - CSV is a very simple file format.
You need to add/edit damage and armor parameters. Armors are columns, damages are rows.

**Example:**

- A value of ``1`` means ``100%`` of the base damage — so it does not change damage scale.
- ``0.5`` means that only ``50%`` of the base damage will be received. 
- ``1.2`` means that ``120%`` of the base damage will be received. 

When you finished your balance edits, you need to re-import **Damage Table** into engine by clicking this button in the **Game Settings** window:

Why this not setup directly in engine?
********************************************
Since this is balance config only, it can be handy to have it in csv format:

1. You can edit in in Google Tables or even in notepad
2. You can easily add/remove any armor and damages
3. We do not need to support special custom Editor in Unity, which can be broken with new Unity release
