Material Combat System

The Material Combat System (MCS) is a combat overhaul addon that gives players the opportunity to define the physical makeup of their character's body and armor. By defining the physical makeup of your character, it will respond to damage differently.

To get started, enter the Material Combat System tab of the spawnmenu. Select your health and armor type, then apply. Players are Unarmored Meat by default. Players can also set their max health and max armor, which they will also respawn with. Players can set their health/armor type only once per life.

MCS can also change the health and armor makeup of NPCs, including those using VJ Base, by right clicking their spawnmenu icon. A preset configuration is included for most default NPCs.

MCS allows players to change the damage type of their weapons by selecting a damage type from the Augments menu. Wish your machine gun shot fire bullets? Now it can.

When used in conjunction with workshop playermodels or PAC3, players can now more accurately take damage based on their character's intended physical makeup. Example: your robot playermodel would be Mechanical health and Metallic armor. These types can also be set through console, so they can be bound to a key or be auto-applied via PAC3 command part.

Each health type has a set blood color when attacked and its own unique suite of status effects upon taking damage of specific types. All health and armor types are left intentionally vague so players have some creative liberty as to what their character's makeup would most closely align with; to help, this addon includes guided descriptions with each health and armor type.

-Meat
-Mechanical
-Ligneous
-Plasmatic
-Azoic
-Loricate

-Metallic
-Hazmat
-Energy Shield
-Ceramic
-Fibrous
-Organic
-Adrenaline

-Kinetic
-Splitting
-Penetrating
-Subatomic
-Chemical
-Thermal
-Voltage

For developers, MCS is set up to where you can make your own health, armor, and status type packs as your own addon! See the following addon for a guided example, as well as the github for the code.
