When omitted

ComputedTakes the value of MyEffectivenessCoefficientDefault in [General], which is itself 0 when that key is absent too.

The coefficient multiplies the Verses percentage of the weapon this object would choose against the candidate, measured against the candidate’s armor class. A positive value pulls the object toward candidates it damages efficiently and a negative one pushes it away from them. It is read from the type of the object doing the choosing, never from the candidate’s type.

Zero cannot be pinned on one type

The value is read with a fallback that substitutes MyEffectivenessCoefficientDefault whenever the stored figure is zero, and the rules are read again for each later layer — the language rules, the expansion rules, and the map. An explicit 0 therefore lasts only until the first later layer that carries the type’s section without this key, which puts the global default back. Zero survives on a type only while the global default is zero as well.
