=== Adding / adjusting item attributes === | |||
As mentioned above, the Custom Pistol has two attributes: a clip size bonus and a damage penalty, which gives it a clip size of 24 and a base damage of 10. It's a bit boring, so how about we spice things up a bit? | As mentioned above, the Custom Pistol has two attributes: a clip size bonus and a damage penalty, which gives it a clip size of 24 and a base damage of 10.

The {{code|"description_string"}} parameter is responsible for the stats displayed in an item's description. Here, it's been set to the plaintext "Crits on headshot", which means that it won't be affected by language. Thankfully, in this instance, there's a suitable localised string that can be used instead to ensure that it's understandable to a wider range of people. | |||
By setting the value to '''#Attrib_RevolverUseHitLocations''' (the localised string used by the [[tf:Ambassador|Ambassador]]'s headshot attribute), the same text will be displayed, but will now also be localised to the user's language. | |||
