Health

here's an attr.cfg extract:

health 100 
fallDamage 1.0 
regen 0.0

in it we see:

• health how many hp the form have (note that this doesn't work for humans as of 0.52.1)
• fallDamage how much hp is lost when falling. 1.0 is "as much as a normal human". Note that it is also affected by armor if armor is worn ("nonloc" damage)
• regen how many hp/second are recovered when the creature hasn't been hurt for some time

View

Movement and mass parameters

here's an attr.cfg extract:

// Physics parameters
speed 1.1
sprintMod 1.2
acceleration 10.0
airAcceleration 1.0 
friction 7 
stopSpeed 100.0
jumpMagnitude 170.0

in it we see:

• speed the maximum speed (relative: 1.0 is the speed of a naked human)
• sprintMod (only makes sense for humans) how much sprinting accelerates (relative: 2.0 is the double of the normal speed)
• acceleration how fast can you change speed while touching the ground
• airAcceleration how fast can you change speed while in the air: you'll notice that a marauder can easily change direction on the ground, but has more trouble steering in the air.
• friction how fast is speed lost. Note that if it is high (in the hundreds), it will actually limit your max speed noticeably.
• stopSpeed means the speed under which the speed will be set to 0.
• jumpMagnitude is how high you can jump.
