Line 43 to 77  of Game_Battler 3 calculates the damage in battle, and line 103 to 204 calculates skill damage. The code is as follows:

All variables are available there for either skill or other things. The main variables are attacker, user and skill. You may also use 'self' to obtain values for the targeted battler.

heres how i want it to be calculated.

(attack power - defence) x Character's parameter (depending on the wepon used)
eg.
for a sword

(attack power - defence) x strength
for a gun

attack power x Attack power

can i do this ??

Yes, you can. The best way to do this is to use elements per stat for weapons. So if a weapon has the 'Strength' element set, find its ID and use:

id_of_element = 9 # the element ID
weapon = $data_weapons[$game_party.actors[0].weapon_id]
if weapon.element_set.include?(id_of_element)
   self.damage = (attacker.atk - self.pdef) * attacker.str
end

Something along those lines should work perfectly fine.

ok?? this might be asking a bit much but do you know how to make weapons achieve multiple hits?? a max of 12?
